  GAS DESIGN STANDARD

  GAS TRENCH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

  A-03

  Publication Date: 08/19/2020 Effective Date: 11/16/2020 Rev. 0a

  Purpose and Scope

  This gas design standard (GDS) provides general trench requirements for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E or Company) gas transmission and distribution facilities. It includes dimensions, acceptable materials to place in the trench, and damage prevention requirements. This GDS does not apply to pipe installed with trenchless construction methods.

  1 General Information

  1.1. PG&E has an obligation to repair and pave public streets and roads to the same conditions as found. PG&E trenches must meet the requirements of the local permitting agency unless the requirements are determined to be arbitrary, unreasonable, or pose a potential risk to the integrity of the facilities or safety of the public and PG&E crews during construction and routine maintenance.

  1.2. Due to the large number of local permitting agencies within the PG&E service territory, it is outside of the scope of this GDS to address all possible local agency trench and backfill requirements. When this GDS differs from local agency requirements it is the responsibility of the local leadership, design and asset engineering and corrosion services teams to evaluate the agency requirements and/or coordinate with the local agency to develop a local trench design that is acceptable to both PG&E and the local

  agency.

  1.3. This GDS provides the recommended minimum requirements for trench configuration and backfill requirements. The project team, responsible asset engineer and corrosion services should evaluate each location and determine if a site specific trench design is required and has final authority to approve any deviation from the Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings.

  1.4. For joint trench requirements refer to Utility Standard S5453, “Joint Trench.”

  1.5. For required cover and clearances refer to Gas Design Standard A-04, “Cover and Clearance Requirements for Transmission Lines, Distribution Mains, and Service Lines.”

  PG&E Internal Information “PG&E” refers to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation.

  12-8-1 FIRE-RESISTIVE STANDARDS FOR FIRE PROTECTION

  ROOM FIRE TEST FOR WALL AND CEILING MATERIALS

  STANDARD 12-8-100 ( SEE CHAPTER 35, CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE )

  STATE FIRE MARSHAL

  Authority: Sections 13143, 13146.1, Health and Safety Code Reference: Sections 13108, 13143, 13146.1, Health and Safety Code

  SCOPE

  Sec. 12-8-101.

  (a) Basic. This standard is intended to evaluate, under a specified fire exposure condition, the contribution to room fire growth provided by wall ceiling and/or floor materials or assemblies. This standard is not intended to evaluate the fire endurance or flamespread of material or assemblies.

  Note: See State Fire Marshal (SFM) 7-1 and Uniform Building Code (UBC) Standard 8-1.

  This standard can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of thermal barriers in restricting the contribution of combustible materials in the wall and floor assemblies to fire growth in a padded safety cell. This standard shall be used in conjunction with ASTM E603-77, “Standard Guide for Room Fire Experiments,” which covers instrumentation, safety precautions and the general effect of various parameters.

  (b) Tests and listings by approved testing agency. Test data for wall and/or ceiling materials or assemblies investigated and tested in accordance with the Standard for Safety established by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., UL 723C, “Investigation for the Classification of Wall and Ceiling Interior Finish Materials and Assemblies Using a Room Fire Test,” will be acceptable for evaluation against this standard, provided all instrumentation data required by this standard is incorporated in the test and report.

  (c) Test simulation. The test simulates a fire in the comer of an 8-foot by 12-foot (2438 mm by 3657 mm) compartment containing a single open doorway; this can be used to evaluate the relative performance of specific wall, ceiling and floor materials or assemblies when they are used together in the same relationship within an enclosure, in addition to simulating the manner in which they will be used.

  (d) Materials considered. The test may be used for evaluating wall, ceiling and flooring finish materials and assemblies, including panels, tiles, boards, sprayed or brushed coatings, etc.

  2.1. A typical gas only trench is shown in Figure 1.

  Figure 1. Typical Gas Only Trench Configuration

  2.2. Basic Trench Design Construction and Terminology

  A. Bedding: The bottom of the trench must be cleared of rocks, skid blocks, or other hard substances to provide a continuous smooth base for the pipe to rest on without damage to the coating. A padding of fine earth or sand can be provided to cushion the pipe. The thickness of the padding should be ⅓ the outside diameter of the pipe, but not less than 4 inches.

  B. Haunch: The backfill material under the pipe haunches supports the pipe and helps to distribute the load evenly. The quality and placement of the haunching backfill is the most important factor in pipe settlement.

  C. Shading: Material that provides support from lateral displacement, distributes overhead loads, and protects the pipe during final backfilling and paving operations.

  2.2 (continued)

  D. Initial Backfill: A backfill of fine materials must be placed to a minimum elevation of 12 inches over the top of the pipe, to prevent damage from rocks while backfilling above this level.

  E. Final Backfill/Paving: In most cases, competent native fill is acceptable and preferred for final backfill. Paving must match any existing paving that was removed in the construction of the pipe.

  2.3. Trench Width

  A. Trench must be wide enough to allow for the installation of the pipe without damaging coating or inducing unnecessary stresses and to safely and conveniently compact backfill material on either side of the pipe.

  DIVISION II SCOPE AND ADMINISTRATION

  User notes:

  About this chapter: Chapter 1 establishes the limits of applicability of the code and describes how the code is to be applied and enforced. Chapter 1 is in two parts: Part 1—General Provisions (Sections 101–102) and Part 2—Administrative Provisions (Sections 103–115). Section 102 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview and references other I-Codes as applicable.

  This code is intended to be adopted as a legally enforceable document, and it cannot be effective without adequate provisions for its administration and enforcement. The provisions of Chapter 1 establish the authority and duties of the code official appointed by the authority having jurisdiction and also establish the rights and privileges of the design professional, contractor and property owner.

  ICC code development note: Code change proposals to this chapter will be considered by the Administrative Code Development Committee during the 2025 (Group B) Code Development Cycle.

  Section 104 was revised for the 2024 edition. For clarity, the relocation marginal markings have not been included. For complete information, see the Relocations table in the Preface of this code.

  PART 1—GENERAL PROVISIONS

  SECTION 101—SCOPE AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

• CRSC § 17.8 Medium relevance — show source text

  3. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) General Order (G.O.) 128 where i_chronicle_id ='09131aad80e0dc02' and any r_version_label='LIVE'), Rule 17.8 requires that subsurface and pad-mounted equipment be clearly marked as to ownership. To comply with this rule, PG&E requires standardized signage on these devices which identifies them as PG&E utility assets. these requirements are contained within the corresponding Engineering Material Specifications (EMS).

  A Signage identifies these devices by their operating number making it quick and easy for PG&E Employees to locate and identify these devices in the event of emergencies or for the purposes of required maintenance and inspection.

  B Uniformity and consistency of the exterior color and pattern assist in locating and identifying these devices. Non-Uniformity of color as well covering of signage on these devices could prolong restoration efforts and desensitize the general public from the dangers of tampering and/or not maintaining clearances from these Assets.

  4. California and Federal Law have cases which guide how PG&E would have to perform were this altering of Assets allowed. Current procedures and processes disallow PG&E from implementing these requirements when overlaid on Operational Procedures.

  5. Allowing cities and their citizens to paint on public utility assets creates two possibly significant legal issues concerning ownership of the painting and a third party s right to express their views on our equipment.

  A California law protects “fine art” including murals painted on someone else’s (i.e., Utility s) property. (Cal. Civ. Code § 987(a).) The code provides that once a mural is painted on the surface (transformer housing, for example), only the artist or his or her heirs (until 50 years after the artist’s death), may authorize “any physical defacement, mutilation, alteration, or destruction of a work of fine art.” (Cal. Civ. Code § 987(c)(1).)

  B In Pacific Gas and Electric. Co. v. Public Util. Comm. (1985) 475 U.S. 1 the United States Supreme Court ruled that PG&E had a right to control access to its property for expressive purposes so long as we did not open that property as a forum for public expression. The court contrasted PG&E’s right with other property owners who had allowed their private property to be used for some types of public expression; the court held that that property had become a public forum and the owners could not thereafter exclude other speakers and other messages from their property.
