TRENCH IS DEFINED AS A TRENCH WITH A MAXIMUM DEPTH OF 3,50m.
SEE NOTE 12
13. A DEEP TRENCH IS A TRENCH THAT IS DEEPER THAN A SHALLOW TRENCH.

14. SAFE EXCAVATION IS EXCAVATION IN A MATERIAL THAT CAN BE EXCAVATED WITH

VERTICAL SIDE SLOPES AND THAT WILL IN THE LONG TERM BE SAFE AGAINST
COLLAPSE OR ANY OTHER FORM OF GEOTECHNICAL INSTABILITY.

15. THE THICKNESSES OF THE TOP SOIL AND FERTILE SOIL ARE NOMINALLY AS
INDICATED ON THIS DRAWING, BUT VARIES ALONG THE PIPELINE.
