Dear Anu,

If you are worried about the Technical side of the project, then you need to issue a letter to the Client (Request for Information).

If you are worried about the design, then you need to confirm the design worries by hiring a professional in the field and outlining the design flaw and submitting it to the Engineer.

This is a very interesting project. The Construction crews would not give you their indepth experience easily. You will need to figure a lot of the things for yourself.

With kind regards,

Samer

Hi Anu

Vladimir is the best one for this query.

However if the pipe is below the permafrost and has trace heating the cooling water should not freeze.

Fire fighting water pipes should be dry until needed.

Best regards
