Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The following shall apply to adjusting existing pipelines that fall in the path of highway construction projects:
1. An existing or relocated pipeline
shall be protected in such a manner as normally would be required for a new pipeline
at the site.
2. An existing pipeline
shall be relocated in plan and/or grade where:
i.
The pipe bedding will be depressed by highway loads; or
ii. The top of the pipe is within 18 inches (450
mm) of the subgrade or determined to be too close to the highway grade.
3. An existing pipeline that is too
weak to support highway loads shall be replaced by stronger pipe or protected in a
manner acceptable to both the Department and the utility.
4. An existing pipeline which would lack adequate
bury for protection against vehicular live loads or highway construction operations
may be protected by a floating slab.
5.
Notwithstanding reinforcement or protection otherwise provided, the highway
construction contractor will be advised by the Department and be made responsible
for the security of each existing pipeline within the construction zone. Where there
are unusual utility hazards and where heavy construction equipment will be needed,
it should be arranged by the contractor to provide a temporary protective cover of
each or bridge the utility.
