Gas pipe

[Hodge]

Just ground through a gas pipe with my stump grinder! The pipe is only 4" down? You would think it should be deeper. Stumps were next to a footpath, no indication of there being any pipes. Great way to end the week!

wouldnt worry too much i went through 3 power cables with the big auger on the skidsteer on tuesday afternoon! cut the power to the electric gates so i couldnt get off site...........all this after i was assured there was no cables in that area at all

sounds like you were very lucky, so probably not a bad way to end the week! I thought services like that were meant to be 600mm + deep

done them a couple of times while fencing, just move the van around the corner ask the client to phone the gas board and say you are a friend helping in the garden and hit a pipe, they fix it for free.

Once took out a 400mm high pressure main with a Becker. Sounded like Niagara Falls and left Bridgnorth without gas:001_smile:

That's what I thought Steve.
