Limit of Disturbance or Limit of Work?
Limit of Disturbance or Limit of Work?
(OP)
I am debating with a fellow engineer which term is appropriate to use. In my experience as a site design engineer, I have seen "limit of disturbance (LOD)" or "limit of clearance (LOC)" used to describe the area in which a contractor may operate. In his experience as a mining engineer, he has seen the phrase “limits of work”.
We are operating in the mid-Atlantic region of the US.
I would like to know if one phrase is more common or standard than the other.

I disagree with sam on the leniency implied in "Limits of Work". It is equally legally binding, but it is a contractual term. I have seen it in all fields. It is a graphic delineation of what the contractor must supply...exactly like a Scope of Deliverables is in the written contract. For example, if your P&ID has the check valve on a run of piping delineated within the Limits of Work, and I don't supply it, you can sue me for it and win.
I've never seen or heard of Limits of Clearance, but it sounds like it means LofD.
