Environmental permit available and Klic notification submitted by the contractor. This shows that there are no pipes, so piling work has started. Vibrations cause damage to the (asbestos cement) water pipe. This appears to be closer than indicated on the drawing (and just not on the plot itself).\n Question 1: Who is responsible or liable for the damage that has occurred?\n Question 2: Can I expect the owner of the water main to be responsible for a proper water main that is resistant to (in this case) vibrations in the vicinity, so that the pile driving work is not hindered by this? In other words, what are my options (rights) to have the pile driving work resumed by the contractor?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n 1. I understand that you are the client and that there is no discussion that the pile driving causes damage to the water pipe. In that case you are liable for that damage.\n \n2. No, you may not expect the neighbours to make the water pipes in such a way that they can be damaged by pile driving. It is generally known that driving piles in a built-up area can cause vibration damage. That is why it is wiser to work with drilling instead of pile driving in a built-up area. It is therefore possible that the work can be continued with drilling instead of pile driving.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55006095540573,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-52673-ls-voor-het-aanbrengen-van-een-erfafscheiding-dienen-heiwerkzaamheden-te-worden-uitgevoerd-t-b-v-d","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
