How far is it from the neighbor's fence?

Why were norms for the distance to buildings and objects from gas pipe? Alas, we often neglect the norms of SNIP, especially on household plots and summer cottages. A particularly disdainful attitude towards the norms is if the threat of a fine is unlikely. But is it the fine?

The standards that specify the distance from the gas pipe are for our safety. Non-compliance or insufficient compliance can result in something worse than penalties. So is life really worth neglecting these indicators, even if it’s not entirely convenient?

Modern standards are suitable for the design of new gas supply systems, as well as the modernization of existing ones. According to them, the main gas outlets for domestic use do not exceed a pressure of 1.6 MPa. According to the same standards, gas supply is designed in dacha and cottage villages.

These standards are not suitable for gas supply systems of industrial organizations, for example, oil refining companies, ferrous metallurgy and others.

Composition of the gas supply system:

external pipelines;
internal;
equipment and units for control, measurement, gas supply, and system maintenance.

Position

So, let's talk about system design and the distance of system pipes from various objects.

To do this, let us clarify that, according to SNIP, there are two types of gas pipelines:

underground;
outer.

Each type has its own distance standards; let’s consider them in more detail.

Underground

The distance from the house to the gas pipe in the embankment cannot be less than 5 m. There are special provisions of SNIP, according to which the distance can be reduced by 50%, but they are regulated by the characteristics of the terrain and the passage of the gas pipeline. For example, laying pipes between houses, arches, in very limited areas, etc.

The distance to the gas pipe from the outer walls of the well, chambers or other equipment of utility networks should not be less than 30 cm. Laying must be carried out in accordance with technical requirements and conditions. Only this can be a guarantee of safety. By the way, this is why independent transfer or organization of the gas supply system is not allowed.

The distance to overhead communication lines, as well as electrical external networks, cannot be less than 2 meters. The same applies to the gap between the gas pipeline and heat transfer channels. The distance from the gas pipe to the fence, taking into account the underground laying of the pipeline in villages, must be at least 50 meters. SNIP provides for a reduction in the gap, but only if certain standards prescribed in the regulations are taken into account.

The depth of laying the gas pipeline must exceed 0.8 m for highways and roads with heavy passenger traffic and 0.6 m for roads with low traffic.

Ground and above ground

Overhead wires are laid along the facades of buildings, on special supports made of materials that do not burn.

The laying location depends on the pressure of the gas pipeline:

up to 0.6 MPa – wiring is allowed on shelves and trestles, as well as columns, supports and along the walls of industrial buildings;
up to 0.3 MPa - it is allowed to lay on the walls of residential buildings and public buildings of at least the 3rd degree of fire resistance.

It is prohibited to lay gas pipelines of any pressure for the purpose of gas transit, according to SNIP:

along the walls of kindergartens and schools, hospitals and companies that involve large crowds of people;
for buildings in which the walls consist of panels and have metal cladding with polymer insulation;
for buildings of categories “A” and “B”.

It is prohibited to install medium- and medium-sized gas pipelines along the walls of residential buildings. high pressure. It is also forbidden to run a transit gas pipeline through window openings.

In areas near the ground, pipes must be enclosed in a special case. The horizontal distance to the gas pipe from the ground cannot be less than 35 cm.

The distance from the gas pipe to the chimney must be more than 2 meters outside and at least a meter from the inside of the building. However, this indicator depends on many factors, for example, location, gas supply conditions and pipe configuration, etc.

In room

It is very important to comply technical specifications indoors, since gas emergencies are often caused by household non-compliance with standards. In most cases, polyethylene gas pipes are used in apartments and private houses. Usually they go exclusively to gas stove or oven. But some houses have autonomous gas heating. And here a special boiler is already used.

In this case, the floor from the pipe must be at a distance of at least 50 cm. The same distance is from the wall to the boiler. The vertical distance to the chimney should not be less than 80 cm inside. The distance of the pipe to the cooking stove is the same. The distance from the pipe to the outlet in a small room should not be less than 30 cm.

To secure a building means to secure life. That is why it is important to comply with the rules and regulations specified in SNIP.

The use of “blue fuel” for domestic needs has a significant drawback - the difficulty in implementing delivery and storage. This shortcoming was overcome thanks to a gas holder - a “tank” for liquefied hydrocarbon gas.

The installation of autonomous gasification is subject to a set of requirements and standards. First of all, it is necessary to evaluate the parameters of the site, determine the distance from the gas tank to the residential building, nearby buildings and communications.

The main gasification of remote villages has not yet been completed, and many settlements remain without convenient “blue fuel”. An alternative solution to centralized gas supply is the installation of a gas tank and the arrangement of an autonomous network.

Gas holder – monolithic storage tank natural gas. Structurally, the tank is made in the form of a tank with a neck. In the upper part there are elements that control the pressure and remaining fuel.

Undoubtedly, the exploitation of any gas equipment is associated with a certain risk, therefore a number of requirements are imposed on the organization, location and installation technology of the gas tank.

In Galgozero liquefied gas are gradually converted into steam, the propane-butane composition enters the reactor and acquires required pressure. The gas pipeline supplies “blue fuel” to consumers

The site for installation of a gas storage facility is assessed according to the following criteria:

relief;
composition of underlying and containing soil layers and proximity to groundwater;
availability of water intake points, residential, utility and public premises.

Relief. The area selected for surface mounting must be level. This requirement is especially relevant when installing ground-based modifications - installation on a slope is prohibited.

Priming. It is permissible to place a gas storage facility in soil masses with different moisture contents. From physical and mechanical properties rocks will depend on the convenience of excavation work and the choice of gas tank type.

If there is no risk of flooding of the fittings, models without a high neck can be used. How option will do a tank where the outlets are attached to welded pipes 12 cm long - this is the “safety” height if there are doubts about flooding.

For places with "high" groundwater designs with an elongated neck have been developed to protect the fittings. Due to the protection device, the operation of the gas tank is stable and efficient

Water is an excellent conductor of heat waves, and the process of evaporation of the propane-butane mixture is determined by the temperature of the environment. The higher the indicator, the more intense the process. Installation work in low-moisture rocks it is easier, but the environment for normal operation gas holder is less favorable.

Coarse soil can be dangerous, especially if its components are weakly rounded, i.e. with sharp edges. Boulders, pebbles and large crushed stone complicate the installation of equipment, and the mass of gravel and debris creates additional stress on the gas pipeline.

In most cases, a pit is developed for installation, which is recommended to be filled with river or quarry sand after the structure is immersed.

Proximity to water intake sources. According to building regulations, the minimum distance from a gas tank to a reservoir (well, well) is 15 m, and to a water main - 5 m.

Neighborhood with buildings. Fire safety distances from liquefied gas tanks to structures are indicated in paragraph 8.1.6 of the regulatory document “Gas distribution systems” (SNiP 42-01-2002). The next section is devoted to this issue.

It is more practical to place the gas holder closer to the gate for unhindered access of the gas carrier and filling the tank.

The area above the gas storage facility is a kind of exclusion zone. It is prohibited to set up a barbecue area, install barbecues and other flammable equipment on it.

In addition, concreting or paving the site, as well as organizing a parking space and planting trees, is prohibited.

Fire distances to protected objects

Determining the optimal location on the site depends on the volume of the tank and the method of its installation: underground or above-ground installation. For each option, strict standards are defined, the neglect of which is unacceptable due to explosive, environmental and fire safety requirements.

Volume is a determining parameter for the distance of buildings

Not only the location of the container on the site, but also the ease of use depends on the correct choice of volume. The capacity of the gas tank is selected so that one refill is enough for 1-1.5 years. The volume is calculated based on the area of the house.

According to standards, 20 liters of “blue fuel” per year are consumed to heat 1 square meter of housing. If gas is simultaneously used for cooking and hot water supply, the figure increases to 27 l/year.

Knowing the dimensions of the house and the needs of the residents, it is easy to perform the calculation. For example, for a cottage of 200 sq.m, a gas holder with a volume of 4000 liters or more is suitable. An alternative option is to determine the size of the tank based on the power of the boiler installation. For example, a 50 W boiler will require a 5000 liter gas holder.

It should be noted that the maximum filling of the gas storage is 85% of the total displacement, and the minimum remaining fuel is 5%. Therefore, when choosing a gas tank, you need to take into account a certain reserve (plus 10-15%)

Standards for the location of underground gas tanks

For year-round operation in cold winter conditions, it is necessary to choose an underground “storage”. The module is immersed below the soil freezing line, which supports the natural evaporation of gas at sub-zero temperatures outside.

General standards for distance from underground tanks of any volume:

sports grounds, children's playgrounds, garages - 10 m;
underground pipeline for heating mains and sewerage – 3.5 m;
external communications not included in the backup equipment group – 5 m;
edge of the non-high-speed roadway highway for 1-2 lanes – 5 m;
highways and expressways with 3 or more lanes – 10 m;
access tram track, industrial railway tracks - 10 m.

Distance to buildings for various purposes determined by the capacity of the liquefied gas tank. A gradation of values is provided for “storage” volumes: up to 10 cubic meters, 10-20 cubic meters, 20-50 cubic meters.

Distance to residential buildings for monoblock tanks up to 10 cubic meters - 10 m, up to 20 cubic meters - 15 m, up to 50 cubic meters - 20 m. Distance from public buildings - 15, 20 and 30 m, respectively

Various standards are provided for regarding production premises. The range of distances is 8-15 m. The distance to general purpose railways is also regulated - 20-30 m, depending on the displacement of the gas tank.

SNiP allows for a reduction in the interval between a residential building and a “gas vat” by 50%. However, such a decision must be justified technical reasons and agreed upon with the local gas distribution systems department.

The distance should be measured from the nearest point of the foundation to the wall of the gas tank. This norm is not specified in regulatory documents, but is practiced when installing a gas storage facility

In addition to the requirements for the distance of the gas tank from various objects, there is a list of rules for regulating underground “storage”:

installation depth - at least 60 cm from the top wall of the tank to the ground surface;
the distance between underground gas tanks is at least 1 m;
the neck and fittings of the container must remain freely accessible.

Regardless of the displacement, the underground tank is mounted on a foundation - a concrete slab. The base prevents the tank from “floating” in the event of ground movement.

Subtleties of installing an above-ground tank

The use of a ground-based gas tank has several significant advantages: simplicity, speed of installation and reduction in the intensity of metal corrosion. Local damage is easy to detect and correct in a timely manner.

However, this type of equipment is rarely used to supply gas to a private home. The main reason is a significant decrease in system performance in winter. At subzero temperatures (below -0.5°C), liquefied gas does not evaporate naturally.

To support the process, the gas tank must be equipped with an evaporator. With insignificant consumption of “blue fuel”, capital investments in gasification take a very long time to pay off. Due to the above-ground location, the requirements for fire safety distances from the gas storage facility to buildings and other objects are more stringent.

The minimum distances are given separately for three groups of standard sizes: up to 5 cubic meters, from 5 to 10 cubic meters and tanks with a capacity of 10-20 cubic meters. The “+” sign indicates the distance from the gas tank to real estate not served by the installation

Additional restrictions on the location of the above-ground “gas vat”:

general purpose railways – 25-30-40 m in accordance with the volume;
local tram and railway tracks – 20 m;
roads IV-V categories (1-2 lanes) – 10 m, I-III categories (from 3 lanes) – 20 m.

For safety reasons, a kind of open cap is installed above the gas tank, protecting the module from direct sunlight and precipitation. Overheating of the tank or lightning can lead to an explosion, and rain and snow can lead to accelerated corrosion.

Placement of mobile gas storage facilities

Mini gas holder – spacious gas cylinder volume up to 500 cubic meters, equipped with the required safe operation fittings: reducer, level gauge and safety valves. The equipment is characterized by compact dimensions, for example, the parameters of a 480 liter tank are: length - 2 m, diameter - 60 cm.

At correct use its service life is the same as that of a full-size gas tank. The mini-model is placed permanently or installed on a trailer, which ensures the mobility of the gas storage.

Refueling is greatly simplified, as it becomes possible both at the location and at the gas filling station.

An important advantage of a mini-gas holder is the absence of strict requirements for its placement. Work on connecting the tank to gas system home takes about two hours

According to SP 63.13330 of 2011, the minimum distance from the house to a small gas tank is acceptable, namely placement directly next to the wall. The distance between the equipment and other protected objects is not specified.

Mini-gas tanks are in demand to ensure autonomous gasification of premises with relatively low or seasonal fuel consumption: country houses, heating of cafe areas, hotel. The reservoir is often used as backup source gas in case of interruptions in the centralized pipeline.

Set of requirements for laying a gas pipeline

Certain standardized standards are also required for the installation of a gas pipeline running from the gas tank to the house. Gas is supplied to the premises via an underground pipeline through the basement inlet. Safety rules prohibit introducing a gas pipeline into a house underground.

Scheme of introducing a pipe line into a house. Designations: 1 – gas tank, 2 – concrete slab base, 3 – condenser tank, 4 – underground pipeline, 5 – base input unit

General requirements for laying a gas pipeline in the gas tank-house section:

track depth – at least 1.7 m;
trench width - there are no strict restrictions, the value depends on the footage of the gas pipeline and the quality of the soil;
the minimum slope towards the condensate collector is 1 cm per 1 m (no more than 5°), the maximum slope is 100 mm;
the distance from the highway to the foundations of buildings is 2 m or more;
the distance to parallel located communications is 1 m, with a cross arrangement – 2 m in height.

The underground gas pipeline line is installed from polyethylene pipes high density with nitrile content. Ground line - steel gas pipes. The polymer pipeline should not reach the point where the ground temperature drops to -20°C or less.

The transition of the polyethylene-steel gas pipeline is carried out at a depth of 40 cm. The area must be protected from electrochemical corrosion - it is used polymer coating to a height above ground level

Safety of gas tank operation

Despite all the advantages of autonomous gasification, many consumers are scared off by the thought of the risks of storing a flammable substance on a site near a residential building.

To ensure safety, it is not enough to maintain the required distances during installation; it is necessary to comply with all conditions for refueling, operation and maintenance of the gas holder installation.

Operating rules:

Preservation of an inexhaustible supply - about ¼ of the volume. When all the fuel is used, a vacuum is formed in the container; further refueling in violation of the technology may result in an explosion.
Filling of the gas tank exclusively by a specialized company. Insignificant savings on the services of unqualified gas workers can lead to a fire.
Monitoring the operation of the safety valve. Timely troubleshooting will prevent an emergency.
Prevent gas leakage. The leakage of “blue fuel” is the most dangerous - the propane-butane mixture “spreads” downwards, since it is heavier than air.

There is a possibility of fuel leakage if the tank is damaged, the fittings are faulty, unqualified repairs or refueling are performed, as well as if the gas distribution system elements are not hermetically sealed.

Safety of operation and refueling is ensured by the following equipment: 1 – draining of residues from the condenser tank, 2 – safety valve, 3 – reducer, 4 – gas pipeline, 5 – level gauge – measuring the fullness of the tank, 6 – filling valve, 7 – gas extraction valve, 8 – pressure gauge, 9 – liquid gas extraction valve

Mandatory precautions include the use of lightning protection and grounding. It is not permissible to carry out welding work, lighting a fire.

You will be introduced to the standard prices for installing a gas tank, in which all the items of upcoming expenses are analyzed in detail and recommendations for possible savings are given.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

Video report on the operation of an installed gas tank for servicing a private home. The review discusses the equipment that ensures safe use and the permissible distances to objects on the site:

One of the main requirements safe work gas holder - compliance with standardized distances from a residential building and other objects to the gas storage. If the conditions of the site itself are unsatisfactory, some leniency regarding the boundary distances is permissible. It is better to entrust the assessment of the installation site and installation to a specialized company.

Tell us about how you selected a place on your personal property to install a gas tank. It is possible that you have helpful information, which will be useful to site visitors. Please write comments in the block below, post photos related to the topic of the article, and ask questions.

The distance from the house to the gas pipe (gas pipeline) is the distance necessary for the safety of the structure, which is selected, depending on several components, according to the standards. The installation method, the level of safety of the gas pipeline, the delivery system and the pressure under which the liquid fuel is supplied all play a role. Determination of the required distance from a residential building on the site to the gas pipe is provided for in SNiP 42-01-2002 in relation to the pressure of the supplied raw material: low, medium or high. The regulatory document entitled “Gas distribution systems” provides the necessary conditions oriented to different situations.

Near the city

To determine the required distance from the gas pipe, after developing a residential building project, citizens Russian Federation apply for the appropriate permit (approval) from the local gas distribution organization. For a definite answer, you need to know the type of gas pipeline and what pressure is used when supplying it. If there is no data on the type of laying and the pressure in the pipes, it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer.

Gas distribution station

SNiP 42-01-2002 is one of the natural results of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Technical Regulation” No. 184, adopted in December 2002. In November 2008, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted Resolution No. 858, according to which the current sets of rules were developed and approved. This SP was approved at the legislative level in an updated version and was named SP 62.13330.2011.

Registration by Rosstandart made it the source of the standard that is followed when laying and connecting gas pipes to the building.

The most affordable type of fuel has become widespread and has become a publicly available energy resource. Its widespread use has led to urgent need development of regulatory documents in which the permitted distances can be found.

Compressor station

Since 2010, SNiP registered by Rosstandart:

are legislative documents, compliance with which is mandatory;
checked by supervisory organizations designed to ensure the safety of such structures;
may be the basis for a decision in a lawsuit;
are recognized as a significant reason for imposing an administrative penalty upon violation.

SP 62.13330.2011 regulates the distances that must be observed depending on the type of installation main gas pipeline or its branches and liquid fuel pressure in the pipes.

Near a residential building

If the gas is supplied in cylinders, only the prescribed safety regulations must be observed. fire safety. More economical and high-volume transport in pipes provides differentiated requirements for different types deliveries and the level of pressure during their implementation.

Connection diagram

Types and levels

The population is supplied with high-calorie gas, the most optimal option for domestic use. The level of safety of the transported main pipes fuel is considered higher than its movement and use in cylinders. The laying of pipes for this purpose depends on the terrain and the required operation and is divided into 3 types:

Overhead communications are the least problematic type of installation, which is also used in summer cottages due to the absence of the need for expensive work both during the assembly process and when repairs are necessary. It is made only of steel (as regulated in SNiP), but no special strictness is specified in the distance to the building. The only requirement is a two-way security zone around the pipe of at least 2 m.
Underground pipelines, recognized as the safest installation method, with minimal likelihood of damage from external reasons. They can be made of polymer or steel pipes, but here the distance is normalized depending on several components.
Internal networks are located inside the building, they must be left in the public domain, and assembly must be made only from steel and copper. There are also standards for internal networks - they are determined by the object of consumption and its installation, taking into account everything that could pose a potential threat of fire or explosion, right down to the chimney.

Table of distance of buildings from the gas pipeline according to SNiP standards

Underground gas pipeline

For underground structures, the distance at which a residential building can be placed during planning and development is dictated by the diameter of the pipe and the pressure under which the gas is supplied.

It is believed that the pressure level of liquid fuel and its supply under high pressure are directly proportional.

The higher the pressure during transportation, the greater the potential danger to a residential building. That is why the distance from the gas pipe to the house must be strictly observed.

Table of distances from the gas pipeline to buildings

To obtain permission, calculations are made by type of communications:

considered low is up to 0.05 kgf/cm2 - supplied for residential, specialized and public buildings;
a gas pipeline with medium pressure (from 0.05 kgf/cm2 to 3.0 kgf/cm2) is needed in city boiler houses or in the main line if the city is large;
high pressure can be used in industrial facilities or in a separate project, used quite rarely.

At what distance from the fence and other buildings, high-voltage power lines and other communications a dwelling can be built is a question that requires a priority solution. Failure to comply with standards leads to legal conflicts with neighbors. To avoid such problems, you should familiarize yourself in advance with the legal requirements regarding the placement of residential buildings.

The wall of the house can coincide with the line of the external fence

Fundamentals of legal regulation of the placement of buildings

No one normative act does not precisely regulate the issue of distance between buildings. The norms for the position of architectural structures on the site are determined by the local administration. To avoid paying a fine and demolition of the building, you need to contact the architecture committee to familiarize yourself with the accepted standards for the placement of buildings in a given locality.

The issue of planning buildings is regulated by the following standards:

SP 30-102-99. Establishes norms for distances between individual housing construction objects and other extensions. Thus, a residential building must be located at a distance of no less than 6 m from dwellings, garages and outbuildings on the neighboring site.
SP 4.13130.2009. The main document establishing fire safety measures. Maintaining safety distances between buildings is intended to protect buildings from fire and prevent the spread of fire due to their close proximity.
SNiP 30-02-97. Regulates the placement of buildings in gardening associations. In some cases, by decision of the local administration, the standard applies to individual housing construction, private plots and summer cottages.
SNiP 2.07.01-89. Regulates the area related to the general development of a populated area. Unlike previous standards, this regulatory act regulates the placement of buildings on a site from the point of view of local authorities, and not the owner.

Permissible distances between houses on adjacent plots

The distances between dwellings in neighboring areas differ in different regions. The location of the site (urban or rural) is taken into account. The distance is calculated based on the position extreme points buildings - balconies, terraces and porches. If the dwelling is connected to a garage close to the neighboring plot, the distance is determined relative to its edge.

Table of minimum distances according to fire safety standards between houses from different materials

The amount of indentation depends on the type of cladding. The following groups of coatings are used for wall cladding:

Non-combustible materials - stone and reinforced concrete. Most safe types casings with a low susceptibility to fire. Stone buildings can be located at a distance of at least 6 m from each other. Are the best option for construction on small plots, allowing you to build houses near fences.
Combustible materials – lumber. To avoid a large fire, the distance between wooden buildings must be at least 15 m.

The issue of placing houses in the construction of which several materials were used is being addressed separately. Dwellings with stone walls, but wooden floors, should be placed at a distance of at least 8 m from each other. The same distance is maintained if structures in neighboring areas are built from different groups materials.

Limiting the distance from the wall of the house to the fence and neighboring buildings

According to the general rules, the distance from the dwelling to the fence according to SNiP must be at least 3 m, and between neighboring houses - at least 6 m. A small, less than a meter, setback of the dwelling from the border of the site is a violation. If a neighbor built his house a meter from the fence, you can safely go to court, even when the normative distance between dwellings is observed.

Minimum distances of objects and buildings to the neighbor’s fence

When planning the future use of the site, it is recommended to draw a diagram of it. The land should be divided into zones, in one of which a residential building will be built, and in the others - a garage and other necessary extensions. According to GOST, buildings must be removed from the fence and the house at the following intervals (m):

at least 1 – outbuildings for storing equipment;
6 – from the windows of a neighbor’s house;
at least 12 – premises for housing livestock;
6 – summer shower;
8 – toilet and compost pit.

Particular attention is paid to the location of the bathhouse. Smoke from a sauna chimney located close to a neighbor's house causes quarrels with neighbors, who may legally demand the demolition of the building.

To avoid troubles when building a bathhouse, adhere to the following distances:

at least 12 m from neighboring structures - for smoky steam rooms;
more than 6 m from the fence and the house, at least 4 m from buildings located on the site - for a sauna;
at least 12 m from the neighbor’s bathhouse and other wooden buildings.

The garden plot is also subject to zoning. It is necessary to plan the land so that it can be used to build living quarters and the necessary outbuildings. Architectural designs, located on the SNT site, are being built at a distance from its boundaries by (m):

4 – greenhouse, pen for birds and livestock;
1 – buildings for storing equipment;
8 – bathhouse, toilet and shower.

It is better to discuss the short distance between the house and the neighbor’s fence with the neighbors

If you want to build a septic tank on your property, it is recommended to obtain the consent of your neighbors. Despite the fact that for the construction treatment system permission only required local authority sanitary-epidemiological service, preliminary discussion and written agreement for construction will protect owners from false complaints about “flooding of the soil and bad smell"from unscrupulous neighbors.

Coordination of the design of the treatment system allows you to avoid situations where a septic tank is mistakenly built close, literally a meter from the drinking water well.

The purifier is placed at a distance of at least 5 m from the home and 3 m from the boundaries of the site. The system should not be located far from a residential building, as this often leads to blockages.

Distance from the house to the object outside the fence

When deciding on the placement of a house on a site, they also take into account the distance of the future building to power lines, gas pipelines, railway and cemeteries. This will protect households from traffic noise and fumes from burial sites, and avoid flooding and subsidence of a private building located on excessively wet soil.

Before power lines

To protect the population from damage electric shock Due to accidental deformation of wires, security zones are established on both sides of power lines. Within these areas, housing construction and the construction of dacha and gardening partnerships are prohibited. If a house does end up within the power lines, it is not demolished, but a ban on reconstruction is imposed and capital construction.

The minimum distance from the house to the power line depends on its voltage

Compliance with power line protection zones also ensures the safety of the site electrical network from vibrations that occur during the construction of a house. The safe distance from the fence to power lines is determined based on the voltage level and is:

35 kV – 15 m;
110 kV – 20 m;
220 kV – 25 m;
500 kV – 30 m;
750 kV – 40 m;
1150 kV – 55 m.

To the pond

When dreaming of a house near a river or pond, you need to determine whether the purchased plot is included in the water protection zone - land adjacent to water body with special legal protection. The establishment of a special regime is aimed at preventing pollution, siltation and salinization of the soil, preserving the richness of waters and maintaining the natural biocenosis.

The minimum distance from the house to the river depends on the type of reservoir

Building a house near a pond also carries the risk of its destruction due to its placement on softened soil. When laying the foundation, take into account the width water protection zone rivers or seas. This territory is determined by the length of the reservoir and is:

10 km – 50 m;
up to 50 km – 100 m;
over 50 km – 200 m;
for the sea - more than 500 m.

To the gas pipe

If there is an external gas pipeline on the site, the distance between it and the house must be at least 2 m. The safety distance for underground pipes is determined based on the gas supply pressure. Within populated areas, as a rule, the pressure in the gas pipeline does not exceed 0.005 MPa. In this case, the foundation is laid at a distance no closer than 2 m from the gas pipe.

In the village to the gas pipe low pressure a distance of 2 m is enough

To the road

In different settlements, the distance between the fence and the road varies. In small villages, as a rule, this figure should be at least 3 m. If the local administration has allowed to deviate from the standards, it is still better to build a fence away from the passage. This will not only protect residents, but also make it easier to access the site.

It is better to stay away from the dust and smells of the road: at least five meters from the fence

When talking about the distance between the fence and the road, the concepts of “road” and “roadway” are distinguished. The first is called a canvas with a pedestrian zone and a curb, optimal distance to which is about 3 m. The second is considered an area for the movement of vehicles. If land plot located near highways, the distance to the fence should be at least 5 m.

The norm for the distance from a cemetery with an area of more than 20 hectares to a residential building is at least 500 m. If the site is located in a village near a small cemetery, the dwelling should be located at least 300 m away from it. For columbariums, memorial complexes, closed burial places, the permissible the distance to the home is 50 m.

The minimum distance to the cemetery is determined by its size

To the railway

The noise and smell from the railway will not please anyone: we are building a house no closer than 100 m

To protect land owners from train noise, the distance from the private sector to the railway must exceed 100 m. If the railway track is located in a depression, or the carrier company has taken measures to ensure noise protection (installed noise barriers, fences), it is permissible to build a house near the tracks, but not closer than 50 m.

Gas is the most affordable and therefore the most popular energy resource. It is used as fuel for the vast majority of heating systems and, of course, for kitchen stoves and ovens.

It is supplied in two ways: through the gas supply system or in cylinders.

Gas lines

The cost-effectiveness of this solution is obvious. Firstly, a much larger number of objects are covered in this way, and secondly, it is impossible to even compare the volume of gas transmitted through pipes with what is supplied in cylinders. Thirdly, the safety level of the gas pipeline is much higher.

For domestic needs, high-calorie gas is used, with a calorific value of about 10,000 kcal/Nm3.

Gas is supplied at different pressures. Depending on its size, communications are divided into three types.

Gas pipeline with low pressure - up to 0.05 kgf/cm2. It is erected to supply residential and administrative buildings, hospitals, schools, offices and so on. Almost everything is urban public utilities belongs to this category.
Communications with medium pressure - from 0.05 kgf/cm2 to 3.0 kgf/cm2, required for the construction of main city boiler houses and as highways in major cities.
High pressure network – from 3.0 kgf/cm2 to 6.0 kgf/cm2. Arranged to provide industrial facilities. Even higher pressure, up to 12.0 kgf/cm2, is implemented only as a separate project with corresponding technical and economic indicators.

In large cities, a gas pipeline may include elements of low, medium, and high pressure communications. Gas is transferred downstream from a higher pressure network to a lower one through regulatory stations.

Communication device

Gas pipes are laid in different ways. The method depends on the task and operating characteristics.

Underground communications are the most safe way styling and the most common. The laying depth is different: the gas pipeline transmitting wet gas must be placed below the freezing level of the soil, gas pipes moving the dried mixture - from 0.8 m below ground level. The distance of the gas pipeline to a residential building is standardized by SNiP 42-01-2002. The gas pipe can be steel or polyethylene.

Ground systems - permitted in case of artificial or natural barriers: buildings, water channels, ravines, and so on. Ground-based installations are permitted on the territory of an industrial or large municipal building. According to SNiP, only steel gas pipelines are allowed for overhead communications. The distance to residential facilities is not established. The photo shows an above-ground gas pipeline.
Internal networks - the location inside buildings and the distance between the walls and the pipeline is determined by the installation of consumer objects - boilers, kitchen equipment and so on. Laying gas pipes in grooves is not allowed: access to any section of the pipe must be free. Steel and copper products are used to organize internal networks.

In summer cottages, the construction of a ground-based option is commonplace. The reason is the cost-effectiveness of such a solution.

Allowable distances

SNiP 42-01-2002 determines the distance between the house and the gas pipe based on the gas pressure. The higher this parameter, the greater the potential danger the gas pipeline poses.

A distance of 2 m is maintained between the foundation of an inhabited house and the low-pressure gas pipeline.
Between gas pipes with average size parameters and structure – 4 m.
For the high pressure system the distance is set at 7 m.

SNiP does not regulate the distance between the house and the above-ground structure. However, it establishes a security zone around the onshore gas pipeline - 2 m on each side. The zone must be allocated. Accordingly, when building a house, compliance with this boundary should be taken into account.

Building regulations regulate the placement of the gas pipe relative to the window and door opening - at least 0.5 m, as well as the distance to the roof - at least 0.2 m.
