I might abandon it but f pulling it out.ponyboy said:If there's an excavator or skid steer available you can clamp a vice grip on it and pull it straight out using the teeth on the bucket. FYI I'd probable telling the gas company to pound sand.
Sounds like the gas co is getting a stiffy because it's there at all. They probably don't care whether or not someone's using itBkessler said:I might abandon it but f pulling it out.

I'll bet you could drive to the closest Dunkin Donuts,get a coffee,a steak eg and cheese bagel toasted then hit the supply house buy a ground rod and drive it home faster than you can pull one out of the ground..just sayin:whistling2::laughing:Hi all, I was wondering if any of you knows of a efficient method to pull ground rod out? PG&E required from us to pull it out saying it's too close to their gas line. Anything other than good old digging?
I was gonna say, "dig a little deeper, cut it off, and refill to the original level", but your way is faster.:thumbsup:Hit the thing with a sledge three times and then tell them you pulled it out...
Usually a utility has no jurisdiction over contractors, I would tell them that the NEC requires us to be in that spot. Sometimes they say "OK".Hi all, I was wondering if any of you knows of a efficient method to pull ground rod out? PG&E required from us to pull it out saying it's too close to their gas line.

True, but they will refuse to activate their service until their requirements are met. Blackmail, but effective.Usually a utility has no jurisdiction over contractors,
