worldwidewebs Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm sure there was a resource somewhere that stated how far apart and to what depth each of the utility companies' pipes/ducts must go. Does anyone know where it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Any good? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.njug.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/V1-Positioning-Colour-Coding-Issue-8.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjFwrfUmfrOAhXWFsAKHfC6BRQQFggkMAI&usg=AFQjCNFhzY5fDIDEo-f-Sz3OF0NYGinxqg&sig2=z_13syNdkUh07MYp1niIug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Check the sites for your electricity/gas/water and they'll likely have something like this: https://www.thameswater.co.uk/tw/common/downloads/your-business-developer-services/new-water-supply-regulations-guidance-notes.pdf I Googled "water trench depth other services".

Some of it is a bit incomplete though, which is the problem - this is from United Utilities: Trenches: These should be lined with sand or selected soft earth, not rubble. They should also be wide enough for the pipework. Please keep a minimum distance of 350mm away from other services such as gas, electricity and at least 1m away from trees, lamposts and lighting columns No mention of BT for example, so it's open to interpretation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
