Is there any standard that refers minimum distance between UHV/EHV Cables and Coke/Blast Furnace Gas?

Any EMC study must be done?

Is that a gas pipeline feeding the blast furnace? Or exhaust gases from the blast furnace? Would the area be explosive (i.e. classified)?
 
Are the cables passing through a hazardous area as classified by the applicable code?
The cables may or may not need to be rated for hazardous locations.
Are the cables passing through an area of high ambient temperatures?
The cables may need to be de-rated, or a higher temperature rated cable may be needed.
At lower voltages, Mineral Insulated cables may meet both hazardous location requirements and high ambient temperature requirements, with suitable de-rating.
