RC Pipe support - for 600 dia. ductile iron pipe

Hi All,

I am designing a RC support (see attached) for 600 dia. ductile iron carrying sewage water from pumping station. Mostly pipe is aligned upward on embankment at slope 8%. I understand that for before casting concrete foundation, we would need to place the pipe on temporary support. Can anybody advise considering the shape of footing and reinforcement in upright portion of pipe support how this foundation can be casted and what precautions to be taken? Thanks.

I don't understand your question.

At 8 degrees you're going to need a pretty big anchor block at the bottom of the slope....

Or is it 8 degrees side slope?

Sketch out what you are planning

My apologies for the confusion. I have proposed various support types, including reinforced concrete (RC) pedestal supports, as shown in the photograph of my initial post. These RC pedestal supports are designed for a maximum spacing of 10 meters. However, I am unclear on the construction sequence.

Specifically, how can the uprights of the RC pedestal supports can be cast if the pipe must be laid on temporary propping first and then concreting is done?
