[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7810960, member: 4505"] The water main (2" asbestos) used to go over my ditches in two places. Laid during WWII and only re-routed a few years ago. The pipe was passed through a larger pipe suspended at both ends on the bank, so insulated by air. The pipe burst many times but never as I recall where it went over the ditch. It would be even more secure if it was a plastic pipe as most are today. The asbestos broke because of water pressure (in hollow) and age, not temperature which goes below minus 10 here. I'd ask members of the team who lay them, not the "experts" in the office. I'd post a photo except I've ripped them out. The pipes now make a jump for horses! [/QUOTE]
