My logic is that, on the day somebody comes along and rips into it with their backhoe, they find the non-life threatening conduits first. (Ya never know--I might be the guy who rips it out too!) :eek2
In addition to what Digger said, also bury a layer of caution tape in the trench about 6"-12" above the conduit.
I can relate to what Digger's talking about. On our church project, my friend put in an electrical conduit between the bulding and the parking lot. I was there the day he did it, and helped him put the conduit in the ground. I came along about 6 months later to dig the trench for the water line, which had to cross under the electrical conduit. Since I had completely forgotten about the electrical condiut I'm sure glad he burried that caution tape... :eek2
