Section 16:25-8.8 - Utility tunnels

Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 16:25-8.8

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) The Department may require that a utility tunnel be constructed for a pipeline crossing a highway when it can be foreseen that several utility crossings will be needed, or the cost of the tunnel (either a large casing, box culvert, or three-sided culvert) may be less expensive than the alternate of several trenchless or separately encased pipelines. The utilities shall consider the need for future crossings and the convergence of their facilities to a joint-use single crossing.

(b) In a utility tunnel that will serve multiple utilities, provision shall be made to isolate mutually hazardous transmittants, such as fuels and electric energy, by compartmentalization or by auxiliary encasement of incompatible carriers. The utility tunnel structure shall conform to the Department's culvert and bridge standards.
