Can you pour concrete over electrical lines.

I'm pretty sure electrical runs under driveways in every new neighborhood in America

So I can have concrete poured over them?

A concrete question

By code electrical lines are supposed to buried pretty deeply but "supposed to" and "are" can be two different things.

Call and pay a contractor, you're in over your head.

This is a concrete answer.

You can pou over them, just no digging (or pile driving).

do your prep work and carefully find the lines, they will probably be in a pcv tubing of some sort if buried and will have very thick insulation. my property has 100 ft of electrical line buried in tubing with asphalt on top

you need to confirm they are in some tubing and if not put them in a tubing. you may have to use some sort of slotted tube and make sure they are safely covered then pour your slab.

No.

Pour your concrete slab then drill a hole to run conduit under your slab.

That's the way it's normally done in basic construction.

You can do it yourself pretty easily if you can afford the machine.

Will the new concrete be in the electrical easement? It should be delineated on the plat

You still have the right to use the surface of the easement.

You can pour the concrete over the ground above the lines but if you dig and damage the lines you are liable.

If the lines weren't deep enough or not in conduit that is the electric companies fault and you aren't responsible.
