I have to run 200' of buried cold water supply line from one building to another. The excavator thinks he can get down 2-3' before the ledge gets too hard to break up. yesterday he mentioned "maybe only 6" in places.
4 ft frostline here. Any good insulation methods that will be somewhat flexible, there's gonna be a lot of twists and turns, up and down, side to side, maybe i'm exaggerating.
Any good methods out there that are somewhat easy on the budget and will do as well as can be expected? (The backfill will be mounded up as much as possible, which should help a little.)
Also, has anyone had any experience with these retro-fit heating wires that you run thru the pipe? How easy is the installation?
thanks, jon f
