When installing a gas line to a house in Aurora, CO, the required digging depth for the trench typically ranges between 18 and 36 inches. The specific depth depends on the location and the type of property:

For residential properties, trenches are generally marked to be 24 to 36 inches deep and 18 to 24 inches wide. In some residential underground runs, a depth of 18 to 36 inches is maintained to properly shield the pipe from damage.

For commercial installations, the burial depth is often deeper, with a minimum requirement of 36 inches.

Before any digging begins, it is critical to call 811 at least 48 hours in advance to have utility lines marked. Professional installers also ensure that underground pipes are placed in protective sleeves and that the trench walls are sloped or shored if the soil is unstable to prevent collapses during the installation process.
