gas piping below buildings
(OP)
What is the applicable code for 200 psi fuel gas piping below an electrical power house with a concrete foundation and slab on grade? The custody transfer meter is 40 feet outside the power plant fence.
Ditto for fuel oil piping at 50 psi in the same location?

residential or industrial location - area classification is a consideration.
try international fuel gas code (public and residential applications) or asme b31.8 (likely choice).
make certain the pipe is protected from external corrosion.

I assume the fuel gas line is for a engine or turbine in the power house. Run the gas line in a trench with grating or overhead. Do not use floor plate as it traps the gas.
Be sure to adequately ventilate the room. 6 air changes are a minimum.

Remember, "Common sense and safe practice is the foundation and intent of all codes and standards."
Hope this helps.
