Facility Crossing Facility Crossing includes power cables, telephone cables, gas pipelines, water pipelines, and like linear installations installed by, or on behalf of, the Customer. Facility Crossings exclude any facilities installed by a public utility provider, or municipality, or owned by a party other than the Customer, or the private landowner.
Considerations: •
Despite anything to the contrary, Facility Crossings within the Right of Way, or 1.5 metres of the Pipeline where no Right of Way exists, may be removed or altered by SaskEnergy at the Customer or owner’s expense if access is required to construct, inspect, maintain, alter, replace or repair the Pipeline, or if a safety concern arises. • Facility Crossings should be placed with offsets greater than 0.6 metres from natural gas Pipelines. • All distances and locations are relative to the Pipeline not the line locate marker. Line locate markers (flags, stakes or paint) are deemed accurate if placed within one metre horizontal distance from the Pipeline, pursuant to Section 57 of The SaskEnergy Act. Hand or hydro-vac exposure of the pipeline is required to determine exact location. • If the pipeline is exposed, the person undertaking the Work shall ensure that the Pipeline is supported in order to prevent damage to the Pipeline during backfilling and any subsequent settlement of the ground. • If there is contact with or damage to an underground pipeline, the Customer or person undertaking the Work shall immediately notify SaskEnergy. All linear installations must maintain a minimum separation of 0.3 metres vertically at crossings between the SaskEnergy Pipeline and the installed facility. Parallel installations must maintain a minimum separation of 0.6 metres horizontally between the SaskEnergy pipeline and the installed facility. • Mechanical Excavation is allowed within 0.6 metres of the Pipeline, only if the exact pipe location is visually verified by hand digging, or hydro-vac excavation. Prohibited: • All power cables, telephone cables, gas pipelines, water pipelines, culverts and other infrastructure installed or owned by public utility companies or others.
