The company that I work for uses HDPE pipe on trestles to trasport slurries. The trestles were originally designed for steel pipes. Because of the large coefficients of expansion with HDPE we at times have problems with pipe support details. Is anyone on the forum familiar with pipe support details that work or other companies supporting polyethylene pipes in this fashion. The pipes we are using are 14", 16" and 20" diameters. The manufacturer of the pipes says most people do not support their pipes on trestles. Where we are located it can get to -40 deg F in the winter and 90 deg f in the summer.
