(A) Encasement and capping of utilities is permitted where conditions warrant.
(B) ENCASEMENT, in this chapter, is defined as the surrounding of a carrier pipe with concrete to protect the carrier from the load imposed by the roadway and its traffic. Capping is defined as the placing of a concrete slab over a facility. These techniques are useful when the carrier pipe must be used with minimal cover or when unusually heavy loading is expected as in an area where large earth moving equipment will be operating. Encasement is not substituted for sleeving.
