2.11.1Definition of Terms:

2.11.1.1 Excavation - defined as any man-made cut, cavity,trench or depression in an earth surface formed byearth removal.

2.11.1.2 Trench - defined as a narrow excavation ( in relation toits length) made below the surface of the ground.

2.11.2To prevent injury and property damage during excavation work,make adequate protective measures part of the job. Study pre-excavation conditions (superimposed loads, soil structure,hydrostatic pressure and the like) in order to evaluate changes thatmight occur, or situations that might develop and in order to planthe job ahead: One major hazard in excavation work is the presenceof underground facilities, such as utility lines (water, electricity, gasor telephone), tanks, process piping and sewers. If this dug into,undercut, or damaged in anyway, there may be injury or death toworkmen and interruption of service, contamination of water,disruption of processes and expensive delays.

through the envelope of buried facilities.2.11.4If necessary to dig near to or under the tank, it is either install

shoring or excavate of stable slope away from the outermost

edge of the tank supports, size shoring members to handle any

superimposed loads. Keep the excavated area free of water a

partially filled tank could be floated out of the ground.

2.11.5Whenever an open excavation must be made within or adjacent

to a building and lower than wall or column footings and

machinery or equipment foundations, the job should be handled
