Adrianne Chillemi provided insights on how unclear, inconsistent, or poorly coordinated contract documents can quietly shift payment risk during the Deep Foundations Institute’s two-day Slopes, Support, and Stabilization conference in Charlotte.

Subsurface conditions are critical for deep foundation projects. The contract language intended to allocate the financial risk of those conditions is equally critical. Adrianne’s insights were based on real-world disputes. She walked conference attendees through common drafting and coordination failures that typically lead to disputes on deep foundation projects.

The conference brought together industry professionals to discuss improving and stabilizing soft ground, landslides, and slopes, as well as supporting excavations.
