Underground Pipe Design
Underground Pipe Design
(OP)
Hi!
I am working with underground piping and we are having some discussion about the requirement of installing or providing with some thrust block for the piping. As I review the ASME Code for process piping, this was not stated. What is the applicable codes for underground piping with 1.2m Dia pipe for water? Can anyone tell me about this?

Thrust blocks are no longer considered to be good piping practice. This is because thrust blocks are normally paired with undetermined soil properties and poor construction techniques. These uncertainties lead to unknown performance parameters for the piping system.
