Can I concrete over gas pipe?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.59 PM
Hi, the gas main from the street runs under the garden to the house. I'm wanting to put a driveway in for a car, can I concrete over the buried gas and water for that matter?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Sand or if the pipe will be encased in concrete, it would be better to invest in some rock wool and wrap the pipes in this.
Hope this helps

Personally I would lay soft sand over services, and then back fill with 10 mm shingle as this is self compacting, less work than concrete, and leaves services easier to get to if there are any problems in the future.
