Oh sorry, my bad. Here was me thinking they were exactly the same.

I do not know! I would have to ask to gas and electric company about that first. How deep do you think the post would go?
As deep as you can get it.

The gas company shouldn’t charge for finding the pipes.
There are ways to dig carefully .
When my pipe was changed, they used air blast to dig.
You could dig (slowly) using a pressure washer.
