It may be "done everyday", but then so is "multiple tapping" terminals in electrical panels ... does NOT make it correct, though, does it (just because it is "done everyday").
the codes require protection of piping and dirt over the pipe provides adequate protection.
Brian, I suggest you read the wording in the code, then post it here, showing us which part says that.
maybe there is a reason that you feel engineering is required that i am not aware of ?
"that i am not aware of ?"
Yep, it's in the code.
