Buried systems plant piping

In the early years of industrial development in the United States, many plants buried their outside pipelines. The initial cost for this type of installation is low because no supports are required and the earth provides insulation. However, location and repair of leaks are difficult, and other pipes buried in the same trench may make repairs impossible. Above-ground piping systems in industrial plants have proven to be more economical than buried systems, and, except for major water and gas lines, most in-plant piping systems in new plants are now located above ground or in crawl-space tunnels. [Pg.495]
