Dear all,
Is there any code for the pipe undergroud?Not the oil transmission pipe,just the pipe filled with cooling tower water,buried 4.5 meters below the ground.Because the pipe is very lage,whose diameter is 80" inch,I don't know is it necessary to support the pipe specially.Such as piling,making concrete frusta.If necessary to support,what span is suitable?If not necessary,what my concern is the pipe near the shore,there maybe inconsistent settlement.I think there maybe somebody have met the same question before,according your successful experience,what shall I do?
Any comments will be appreciated!
