and i can stick a tape down it to hit the pipe, and know exactly how deep it is.
It looks like the depth is written on the duct tape.

OK did some zooming around, and I think I see what is being installed, in the third photo down, if you zoom to the stack of water pipes just past the building on the right, I think that is what is being put in the ground, the gas main is clearly up by the road, and is also marked with yellow paint strips, and the yellow flags there have writing on them, the flag by the split rail fence doesn't as nether does the one by the drive next door, but the locates and these pipe does go down the street.
I took a closer look at the piles of plastic pipe this morning. It is 6" schedule 40 PVC conduit according to the printing on the pipe.
I don't think that corrugated pipe is part of the electrical system.
Corrugated pipe is used to access valves because it's flexible. Run over it with a truck and it compressed well. IF you have rigid pipe the weight of the truck may damage the gas pipe ( especially if it's poly pipe.)
