ALL:

What are the installation trench requirements for an underground / buried 4" gas pipeline (850psig); depth of trench, soil compaction requirements (ASCE #, section #),
and thickness of sand around pipe = # ?

Reference Spec / STD's listed......

Try looking at ASME B31 8

Many of your answers will be there.

This is a very basic set of questions for a potentially hazardous pipeline. You should get some experienced assistance you pay for.

What do YOU think the requirements are?

Then we can tell you when you're wrong.

Do you not have any company specifications or design guides available?

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
