UTILITY SERVICES ON ROADS
Installation of services lines, the depth depends on the type of service line. The minimum depth is from considerations of providing a minimum cover to safeguard the line from any superimposed loads or impact or from erosion and this should not be less than 0.6m. gravity sewer lines, from operational angle are required to be laid at substantial depth, from 2m to 6m depending on the topography of the area. As regards electricity cables, HT lines should be at greater depth than LT cables from safety considerations.
Recommendations about the depth of laying of the various service lines along the road are given below:
