inverted siphon
(OP)
We are designing a storm drain which will cross the TransCanada Pipeline right-of-way and are considering an inverted siphon under the existing natural gas transmission lines to avoid a costly relocation. There is some concern regarding possible freezing of the siphon. Anybody with experience and/or know a solution to prevent the freezing?

good luck
RE: inverted siphon
1- Place the siphon sufficiently deep to prevent freezing.
2- Make sure you size your siphon pipe is smaller than the main trunk to promote pressure flow and higher velocities.
3- Other than that you can use a DIP in a casing and connect defrosting wires to the pipes.
