Cables under Driveway

[oosik]

The 1 1/2" pressurized septic discharge line is 36" deep where it crosses under my driveway. It also inside 40' of 4" Johns Mansville heavy duty green plastic pipe - centered on the driveway. My initial phone line was strung on the barbed wire fence that runs all the way down my driveway. It worked OK until I got the Motorola Bag phone.

You say, " I recently had ATT run fiber down the length of my gravel Driveway." Two things seem odd. One run the cable down the driveway, why not off to the side? Two, why so shallow? I'd think the installers would question you, if that was your request. Why not ask them to plow a new line deeper and off to the side so you don't have any problems now or in the future?

Or, hand dig at random lengths near the line to confirm it's actual depth. Maybe it's deeper than your thinking.

Thanks guys, I'll go easy on the grooming and hope for the best. I'll cross the broken cable bridge when I get to it.

The two trencher guys didn't seem to be bringing the "A" game I was at home when they did the trenching but working on conference calls. Didn't really inspect until they were done.
