Underground pipe insulation

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Currently banging my head against the wall on job, were the builders has not ideally planned the work.

I now need to install a new cold supply to a property, because of new foundations it is now impossible to gain the 750mm depth for external supply pipe. There is about a metre horizontal and then about 500mm vertically that needs to be insulated against frost. I am playing with the idea of the groundbreaker insuduct for routing pipe vertical then into property. Then think of using the shalloduct method for insulating the pipe over the above distances.
Does this sound a good plan and is this system one that would be recommended or are there other options?
These are the products I am considering

Just a thought... Can you use trace heating?

Looks like you've got the best solution there Prenticeboy- get the builder to at least supply the corrugated pipe as it probably comes in long lengths

I could, but at this time I prefer not to. The builder has done a little more excavation and they have got within 500mm of the external now, but the footing are going to stop any further progress.

The builder is supplying all the materials on this project, just wished they had used their noggin before pouring footings and slab of the new extension. Thank you for your comment.
