Frost Shielding Protection of a Water Line, Berlin, New Hampshire.
The standard practice at burying water and sewer lines beneath the frost line in cold regions can be expensive when ledge or other difficult material is within the burial depth. If the pipeline can be buried at a shallower depth and still be protected from freezing, a significant savings in excavati...
