Supporting in a ditch
(OP)
Hello,
I wanna supporting a 4" pipe in a ditch a 3 deg slope.(Line is not buried)
what kind of support should I use for this line?

Some questions:
1). Is the pipe line crossing the Ditch or running longitudinal
to the ditch?
2). How wide, how deep is the ditch?
3). If the pipe runs longitudinal to the ditch, how long is the ditch?
4). What is in the Pipe?
5). What is the maximum Operating temperature of the pipe line?
RE: Supporting in a ditch
1- Longitudinal.
2- ditch dimensions: 30 cm(wide)*70cm(depth)
3- its length is 30m.
4- Material of the pipe is Galv. C.S.(5L)
5- Design temp= 85C and operating temp: 35C
There is not soil on the pipe. Above the ditch is ditch grating.

The Grating should be about one meter long supported from the edges of the Trench and flush with the floor.
Your Grating should be removable and self supporting resting on both sided of the trench.
I suggest that you give up having all the grating removable and use some of the grating sections (#1, #5, #10, #15, etc) as supports for the pipe.
Then use short Galvanized hanger rods (adjustable length) from the bottom of the selected fixed Grating sections to the Pipe.

I don´t know any reasons why you shouldn´t use shoes.
Should say one every 6 meters.

Dear europipe and pennpiper,
I think using clamped shoes and galvanized hanger rods are ineffectual cost ways for this problem.
Also all of gratings in our project are removable.
