Buried pipework
Buried pipework
(OP)
We have a potential to have some buried gunited pipework that is 1000DN. I have never seen this installed before. How is it supported? I am presuming in the conventional way except every support is attached to a big block of concrete?

If the pipe is buried then you have total support.
If the pipe has rubber ring joints then concrete thrust blocks are only required at changes of direction, slopes or ends of pipes.
Suggest you invest in Structural Design of Buried Pipelines by Watkins or Buried Pipeline Design by Moser.

thrust block and anchor block only needed for mechanical joints, bell and spigot joint and coupling joint and not for butt welding joints.
