Gas service pipe running through concrete.

[pep411]

Builders hand excavated footing to bring property line forward.PP approved. BC plan is to pour concrete 700mm in trench 1m deep.

I am waiting for heat pump to be installed in Jan. Order confirmed. I cannot wait for extension to complete after then.

What do I do with gas service pipe. Can it be sleeved. I intend to get meter removed by Octopus and then cadent to move the service pipe outside. But i need gas supply until 2nd week of Jan and property extension to be completed by then.

Currently service pipe comes into property through brick foundation then through a 6inch concrete slab into garage. Uts been like this for past 15 yrs i bought house and looks like since 1965 as neighbours dont recollect any changes to my house.

Garage converted into kitchen. Smart meters.

@gas112 will likely know, but have you spoken to Cadent about it? I think it needs to be protected from corrosion, and oversleeving might be possible

I called cadent. I need to call again tmrw.But i want my architect to liaise with them and add specification in his drawings.

I am pretty sure someone here must have come across this before.

That’s why I tagged Gas112. Very knowledgeable, far more than myself and iirc, he has worked for Cadent or similar.

If its a 25mm pipe? get a lenth of 4" soil pipe & cut it to the width of th trench. Then cut a 30mm slot down the lenth & slide it over the pipe & then put gaffeer tape over the slot to stop the concrete getting in.
