Good morning knowledgeable ones,
Could anyone possibly point me to the written regulations regarding how much cover a domestic gas pipe must have when buried in concrete screed?
I should be clear that I am not trying to work out what I can achieve, but rather make the case that a gas pipe should be replaced. Background: We have a 1980s property that looks very much like it was built entirely by apprentices on their first Friday afternoon. Basically, the existing gas pipe has been found to only have concrete cover of approximately 3mm! In other news, the 100A tails from meter to CU were also buried in the wall under the plaster, outside a safe zone and with a similar level of cover...
I've tried googling but can't find the exact regulation which says what the requirement is for buried pipes so any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
