Can I run a gas pipe underground?

Under a garden the gas pipe service should be 375mm deep and under a footway 450mm. The trench should usually be 200-300mm wide. The trench should be safe and secure and not likely to cave in. Ideally the gas pipe connection will run down in a gentle gradient away from the building requiring gas towards the main.
