1.2 Utility Trench Profile

Up to a trench depth of 120cm, we recommend digging a vertical trench; deeper than 120cm we recommend a V-shaped trench.

Excavation works must be carried out in the approved manner, according to the rules and regulations of local authorities. Prior permission is often required and care should be taken to identify existing underground services prior to installation.
 
A land register plan might be useful to eliminate possible conflicts with existing or future utilities and structures.
 
After completion of the pipe-laying process, the route must be marked with a warning tape. Entry in the land register is also recommended.
 
ATTENTION: Minimum laying temperature for Pre-Insulated Pipes: -5oC.
