Conductive pipes will always explode if no power is being consumed (they fill up with 1000 MJ and then explode).
The Quarries will eventually hit bedrock, and will no longer consume power.
put a cobblestone structure pipe next to it with a simple gate, it might be one of the options in the gate's interface. Have it emit a redstone signal when it has work, and feed that to the engines to turn them on/off.
alternatively, or if it doesn't have the condition, the same pipe gate on the chest you're feeding into and use a "has items in inventory" condition to turn on the engines, then you just need to prime the quarries with some power and their internal buffers should be enough to get through any small to moderate sized voids in the quarry. This of course takes into consideration you're auto sorting from that chest (IE enderchest etc)
but if you just used energy conduits, they won't explode, but the engines woudl burn through all their fuel once the quarry was done.

To add to what Larroke said, it doesn't have to be on a structure pipe. You can put the gate on the golden conductive pipe that is feeding the quarry.
Except the fact that for distances less than 5-6 blocks, conductive pipes have less energy loss at the moment
Yeah. Too bad that if you forget to switch off an engine that pipe and most stuff connected to it is gone though.
Not really. Pipes blowing up do not destroy anything except themselves. Potentially gates and pipe wire attached to that section, but certainly not more.
(Also, if you are implementing a design where there's obviously a danger of energy overflow, the smart player take conduits even if he was concerned about the slightly higher energy loss.)
