Repair of settlement beyond reinstatement limits (S12.4)

S12.4.1
Where significant settlement of the surface beyond the edges of the reinstatement can reasonably be shown to have occurred as a direct result of an undertaker’s works, the effective width of the reinstatement must be revised to include the actual width of the settled area. The relevant requirements of this Code apply over the revised width of the reinstatement.
S12.4.2
The extent of any significant settlement beyond the reinstatement limits must be assessed, by agreement, from consideration of the following:
  1. The apparent extent of any excessive areas of standing water following heavy rainfall; or
  2. The apparent extent of any significant deterioration of highway shape compared with the existing profile remote from the excavation; or
  3. The true extent of any significant deterioration of highway shape determined by profile measurements taken before and after the undertaker’s works.
