How deep will the pipeline be buried?
By regulatory requirements, the gas line must have at least 30 inches of cover in most areas. The REX — East pipeline will typically be installed with a minimum of three feet of top cover, except in areas of rock formations where a minimum of two feet will be required. In some agricultural areas where required, the pipeline may be installed with four or more feet of cover, depending on topography and the presence of existing drain tiles or terraces. At certain crossing locations (e.g. roads, railroads, water bodies, etc.) the pipeline will be installed per permit or easement conditions.
