6.3 PGB-TOD pipeline must be reasonably protected from possible movement of pipeline in soft soil area.
Due to this, PGB-TOD may require a rubber padding material be installed between the pipeline and the
drain or culvert. This case is normally encountered whenever a culvert crosses under PGB-TOD pipeline.
6.4 In cases where it is justified by Grantee and accepted by PGB-TOD that the clearance stated in Item 6.1
cannot be met, PGB-TOD will consider reducing the clearance provided the Grantee considers installing a
reinforced concrete slab or rubber padding or a combination of both between PGB-TOD pipeline and
Grantee's drain.

upon request by PGB-TOD.
8.2 Grantee shall perform stress analysis for PGB-TOD'S existing pipeline/s taking into account the "dead"
