Article 116
Local communications inclusive pavements and public areas of municipal settlement units must have dustless surface and it must be possible to clean them by mechanical equipment.
Surface waters from roads of local communications must be drained into sewers. If the sewage has not been established the surface water from roads of local communications may be drained by open longitudinal channels.
SUBSECTION TWO
Structures for Power Distribution
Article 117
When laying the underground lines in the landscape, after completing the structure, the plots on the route must be put into original condition.
Where it is required by the safety of distribution, the routes of underground lines must be clearly marked and connected auxiliary structures and equipment must be properly railed or fenced.
Article 118
The structures for distribution of power in settlement units are mainly located below protective bands of green areas of communications or below pavements. Exceptionally they can be located below roads of local communications.
Underground lines are supposed as much as possible to be concentrated into common or connected routes (collectors).
When laying the underground lines the required safety distance from foundations of the structures, mutual distances of individual lines and the required covering must be kept. The entering pits to the areas of underground lines must not disturb the safety and flow of traffic.

Article 121
In public gardens the green areas must form at least three quarters of the whole area of the land. Public gardens are equipped by water main network, network for draining of rain water and by artificial illumination. The roads in public gardens must have reinforced surface.
SECTION EIGHT
STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES FOR CIVILIAN DEFENCE
Article 122
Structures and facilities of civilian defence are as a rule located in residential and production zones of settlement units. In special cases they are located also in a recreation zone of settlement units or in free landscape.
Article 123
In structures built for other purposes and selected under special regulations, the specified areas will be accommodated also for protection and hiding in the time of state of alert of the country or facilities of civilian defence are being located in them.
The range and kind of fixtures of areas and facilities selected under special regulations must comply with the requirements for safe use and requirements for time of time of state of alert of the country.
Structures and facilities of civilian defence and their technical and technological equipment, inclusive auxiliary equipment and distributions are designed and carried out under special regulations.
Article 124
Walking distances from structures for dwelling, structures of amenities and structures for production and storage to the areas of equipment of civilian defence in selected structures or to independent structures of civilian defence have been specified in special regulations.
PART FIVE
IMPLEMENTATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES
Article 125
Earth Work
Earth work for all structures of underground networks being carried out in the same time must be mutually co-ordinated.
Excavations and storage on public surface communications and in public areas must not blockade access to entrances and drives of ancillary structures and plots.
Excavations on public surface communications and public areas shall adequately be equipped with safe and sufficiently wide passageways and thoroughfares of suitable capacity.
Underground power, telecommunication, water main and sewage networks, the damage of which could endanger safety during execution of earth work and which can endanger earth work, must be properly safeguarded.
Article 126
Foundation Engineering
The structures are being founded in a way corresponding to foundation circumstances.
In foundation engineering attention must be paid to the fact in order not to endanger the stability of surrounding structures and plots. Particular attention must be paid to changes that will be caused by foundation engineering in founding conditions of surrounding plots specified for built up and to regime of ground waters.
The structures, the stability of which could be endangered by a new structure, must be safeguarded before starting of construction work. If, unforeseeably, the stability will be endangered or if deficiencies of some parts of existing structures or surrounding land are be caused, the measure for safeguarding of their stability must be immediately taken.
If during foundation engineering the existing underground pipes or draining system will be disturbed, they must be immediately and properly reconnected, alternately they can be moved in order to preserve their function.
Article 127
Removing of Structures
The structures or their parts shall be demolished, dismantled and relocated so as not to endanger safety and stability of other structures, safety of persons and in order not to trouble uselessly and above the permissible degree the surroundings of the structures that are being removed.
