2. Impossibility of Performance
Perhaps no method of discharging the contract is of more interest to
the engineer than this one. The engineering contractor is continually
running into conditions of soil, stream flow, climate, and other condition
which could not have been and were not foreseen prior to the undertaken
of the work; and it is important that he understand the effect of this
unforeseen conditions on the contract before entering into such a contract.
3. Substantial Performance
Another vital of interest to the engineer and the engineering
contractor is the subject of substantial performance, for in most cases of
engineering contracts there is not an exact performance of the contract but
a substantial performance.
