That might work in your favor as far as simplifying installation a bit.
Still have to navigate through the bureaucracy.

Thanks, Craig

This is an all new facility and the tracks are new as well. 

Thanks again.

Subject: RE: UG Pipe under RR Tracks

You will need to be in contact with the railroad's engineering
department.  They have specific guidelines and rules for crossing below
their tracks.  If the track is existing you'll probably be looking at a
Jack and Bore setup with a culvert/casement pipe as they described and
sealing the casement ends using a LinkSeal or something similar.   I did
a RR crossing in Fla. many years ago and the permitting and red tape was
a giant pain.  

First step is call the railroad.   This isn't going to fall under the
direction of any NFPA standard or local AHJ.

Subject: UG Pipe under RR Tracks

The job I'm working on is calling for a new 8" UG main to pass under a
set of RR tracks. The ground will be elevated for the tracks and our
main will be 4'-0 below normal grade. They are calling for us to install
a culvert to pipe our main through for protection. Has anybody dealt
with this scenario?
I'm not seeing any specifics for protection of the pipe. This is my
first rodeo on this one.

 

Thank you,
