Excavating for Natural Gas Mains and Services

Bay State Gas/Northern Utilities have developed a comprehensive set of Operating and Maintenance (O&M) procedures to assist you in properly preparing your sites for the installation of natural gas service. Safety must come first when you are considering excavation for mains and services. To properly prepare your trench, you must follow specific steps and use specified materials as outlined in these procedures. Only then will your project be consistent with federal, state, and local guidelines and the installation can take place. We encourage you to download the entire procedure for excavating mains and services at www.baystategas.com/business well prior to proceeding with the work. And if, upon reviewing these guidelines, you have any questions or concerns, your sales representative stands ready to assist you.
