Can a New Service Cross Existing Water or Gas Lines?
It may be possible, but the route, clearances, locating and installation method must be confirmed first.
Existing water and gas services should be located and marked before a new trench or bore is set out. The designer and relevant trade determine the required separation, protection and crossing arrangement.
Never rely on a visual estimate of where an existing service sits. Include the known service information in the excavation brief and plan exposure or an alternate route where the lines are close.
