Mixed use trench.

[nizak]

Is there a code that states direct burial conductors cannot share the same trench with other things?

Was hoping to lay direct burial conductors in the same trench as septic line.

There would be a vertical separation and I would maintain minimum 24” depth.

Caution tape applied as well at appropriate depth.

Thanks

Not a problem, IMO.

A trench as not a thing once it's backfilled, and can be 10 ft wide if you want, so what sense would it make to prohibit things from being in the same trench? No there's no clearance requirement for electrical to a sewer line. Not stacking them vertically and giving them some horizontal clearance may be wise for future serviceability.
