Unenclosed Structure A structure that is open to atmosphere in such a way as to minimize the risk of trapping natural gas, this includes many types of decks, play structures, gazebos, above ground pools, towers or other like structures. Considerations: • Despite anything to the contrary, structures within the Right of Way or 1.5 metres (5 feet) of the Pipeline where no Right of Way exists may be removed by SaskEnergy at the Grantee or owner’s expense if access is required to construct, inspect, maintain, alter, replace or repair the Pipeline, or if a safety concern arises. • For site preparation, see Minor Landscaping or Major Landscaping, as applicable. Allowed under the following conditions: 1) A balcony or deck extending over SaskEnergy’s meter, provided that there is greater than 2 metres (6 - 1/2 feet) vertical clearance to the underside of the structure. 2) Open air structures that allow for free flow of air so as to not trap and concentrate natural gas. 3) If the structure is covered with a roof, the openings in the walls must have a total area greater than 20% of the area of the walls, including other structures which serve the purpose of walls. 4) Free access to the SaskEnergy gas meter, regulator, and shutoff valve shall be maintained, with a minimum 0.4 metres (16 inches) of horizontal offset to permanent structures. 5) Piles or Foundations offset more than 0.3 metres (1 foot) of a SaskEnergy Service Pipeline. 6) Towers up to 5 metres (16 feet) in height shall have a minimum offset of 1.5 metres (5 feet) from pipe intersections. 7) Hand Digging, or Hydro-Vac excavation, to any depth where depth of cover over the Pipeline and Pipeline Right of Way is maintained, or restored. Prohibited: 1) Any Unenclosed Structure that is not expressly allowed above is prohibited. 2) Permanent structures within 1.5 metres (5 feet) from intersections of Pipelines. 3) Piles or Foundations within a Right of Way or 1.5 metres (5 feet) of a SaskEnergy Main Pipeline where no Right of Way exists. 4) Piles or Foundations within 0.3 metres (1 foot) of a SaskEnergy Service Pipeline. 5) Towers greater than 5 metres tall within a Right of Way or 1.5 metres (5 feet) of a SaskEnergy Pipeline where no Right of Way exists. 6) A deck surface above a meter, regulator, or shutoff valve.
All distances are relative to the Pipeline and not the line locate markers (e.g. flag, stake or paint) and are deemed accurate if placed within one metre horizontal distance from the Pipeline. Visit www.saskenergy.com/planningadigproject
