Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section II-1913 - Pre-Installation Preparation

A. The permittee shall submit a work plan with the permit application to the DOTD for review and acceptance. The work plan shall address the following minimum preparation/steps, unless approved otherwise by the DOTD.

1. It is the responsibility of the permittee to examine the proposed line segment and notify the DOTD if conditions exist that could cause problems with the pipe bursting/crushing method. These could include nearby services that could be damaged by the operations, existing slabs that could be damaged, or less than acceptable depth of cover.

2. Prior to performing any excavations, the applicant is required to call Louisiana One-Call. If installing any underground facilities such as cable or conduits, the applicant must be a member of Louisiana One-Call.

3. When pipe bursting under a roadway, the pipe being replaced must be a minimum depth of 8 feet below the roadway. Therefore, all adjacent underground utilities must be located by the permittee. Pipe bursting will not be allowed within a distance of 3 feet or 3 times the diameter of the replacement pipe, whichever is greater, from existing underground utilities.
