B31.8 Depth of Cover

Does anyone know offhand if ASME B31.8 specifies a minimum depth of cover for 125 psi gas distribution piping running in a parkway? Under a driveway?

RE: B31.8 Depth of Cover
Please recognize that in the USA, gas piping comes under the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), specifically 29 CFR 192. B31.8 is a parallel document since the Federal government took over jurisdiction. So you should go to this web site to view the applicable CFR:
http://www.dotpipeline.org/intellinav/
From there click on CFR 192 and when that document appears you should click on :
Subpart G: General Construction Requirements for Transmission Lines and Mains
And when that document appears, go to “Sec. 192.327 Cover.
This section will give you the information that you are looking for.
