Hello Louri, I haven't ...

Hello Louri,

I haven't design similar project but I would recommend you consider the following:

1- Obtain existing record of the building to gain more understanding of where the utilities are.

2- Carry out non intrusive radar scanning; I have commissioned concrete scanning before to give me an idea of reinforcement in an old structure so this may help in locating services as well. This  link/ company, maybe be able to help or direct you to relevant survey provider:

2- you will need to consider earthling requirement when using brackets fixed to the walls.

3- Once determining the least intrusive alignment of the rising main then you need to check head loss as you are likely to get lots of bends in the pipe etc.

4- consider thrust forces on the pipe bends and thrust restraint requirement on both the pipe and the brackets. Also thrust forces transferred to wall.

Good luck

Thanks Rania, The good detail survey has been done already. I walked the pipe route with the designers, contractors and suppliers three times. Can you please provide more detail on the earthing requirements for holding brackets? Regards, Iouri
