Yes, according to the "Petroleum Depot Design Code" (GB50074-2002):lol :victory: 14.1.5 The distribution cables in the main production workplaces of the oil depot should use copper core cables, and should be laid directly buried or sand-filled in cable trenches. The burial depth of directly buried cables should not be less than 0.7m in general areas, 1.0m in cultivated areas, and 0.5m in rocky non-arable areas. When the cable is laid on the same rack as the above-ground oil pipeline, the cable should be a flame-retardant or fire-resistant cable, and the clear distance between the cable and the pipeline should not be less than 0.2m. 14.1.6 Cables shall not be laid in the same trench as oil pipelines or heating pipelines. 14.1.7 The level of explosion hazard areas of buildings and structures in petroleum depots and the selection of electrical equipment should be based on the current * * The standard "Code for the Design of Electrical Equipment in Explosion and Fire Hazardous Environments" GB 50058 is implemented, and the classification of the explosion hazard area shall comply with the provisions of Appendix B of this specification.
