  2. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

    Pipe insulation cannot prevent the freezing of standing water in pipework, but it can increase the time required for freezing to occur—thereby reducing the risk of the water in the pipes freezing. For this reason, it is recommended to insulate pipework at risk of freezing, and local water-supply regulations may require pipe insulation be ...

  3. Ground freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_freezing

    Cross section of a ground freezing pipe as used in the Big Dig. Ground freezing is a construction technique used in circumstances where soil needs to be stabilized so it will not collapse next to excavations, or to prevent contaminants spilled into soil from being leached away. [1] Ground freezing has been used for at least one hundred years ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ground_freezing

    The term 'ground freezing' is used: a. when a section of ground is reduced in temperature either to stabilise the structure e.g. when underground water flow prevents mining or tunnel construction. b. to store cold energy for subsequent use in air conditioning or other cooling. See Thermal Energy Storage

  5. Water tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tank

    An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pipework

    Plastic Pipe lengths manufactured in Australia by extruding HDPE material.. Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic.It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.

  7. Rainwater tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainwater_tank

    Rainwater tanks may be constructed from materials such as plastic (polyethylene), concrete, galvanized steel, as well as fiberglass and stainless steel which are rust and chemical-resistant. Full tanks are usually installed above ground, and are usually opaque to prevent the exposure of stored water to sunlight, to decrease algal bloom. [3]

  8. Underground storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_storage_tank

    Many thousands of old underground tanks were replaced with newer tanks made of corrosion resistant materials (such as fiberglass, steel clad with a thick FRP shell, and well-coated steel with galvanic anodes) and others constructed as double walled tanks to form an interstice between two tank walls (a tank within a tank) which allowed for the ...

  9. Freezing rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain

    Because freezing rain does not hit the ground as an ice pellet (called "sleet") but still as a rain droplet, it conforms to the shape of the ground, or object such as a tree branch or car. This makes one thick layer of ice, often called "glaze". Freezing rain and glaze ice on a large scale is called an ice storm. Effects on plants can be severe ...
