[TowerTalk] Towers, coax, gas lines

[Herbert Hatton]

I plan to put up a crank up tower in the next few months.  

The direct path from tower to entrance to station (in a metal building) for 2 runs of coax in conduit along side a ground wire will cross the path of a copper propane gas line about 12 inches under ground.

Question... Can this be done safely, is it against code, what precautions should be taken.

The coax could enter building at another location, but the ground wire would have to follow the direct path if it needs to connect to ground rod at meter base.

Any help would be appreciated.
