Is't permitted to run mech (Gas, water) pipes above/along the un-covered cable trays, see the photo.
& How to decide the adequate space about the cable tray in 392.18(F), there was a good proposal for NEC 2014 but i don't know if accepted or not (i don't have NEC 2014's copy), here's the proposal
It looks like it was rejected. Here is the 2014 NEC of that section.
392.18(F) Adequate Access. Sufficient space shall be provided
