Latest version.
  • Pipes and conduits shall generally be placed by the open-cut method. In individual cases, where there is a deep installation and heavy traffic or other special circumstances, the City Engineer may allow or even require that the installation be made by jacking or boring when such method is of definite benefit to the traveling public. No jetting or other use of water shall be allowed in connection with jacking or boring. The permittee shall be responsible for careful investigation of the permit area to determine the location of all existing utility, municipal and privately owned pipe or conduit lines. The permittee may be required to submit a plan and profile showing all such lines and a detailed plan showing method of operation.
