ABSTRACT:
An improved pipe support device for supporting an underground carrier pipe within an outer encasement of a horizontally bored hole beneath a highway or railroad bed is disclosed. The pipe support is an annular ring structure comprised of two semicircular clamping members, which each terminate in an outwardly extending flange. The opposite ends of each semicircular clamp section are joined by a hinge extending across the juncture thereof to provide pivoting movement from an open condition to a closed condition of the pipe support. The opposed flanges can be drawn together by attaching hardware to secure the pipe support to the underground carrier pipe. A plurality of radially extending leg members are provided around the circumference of the pipe support which terminate in elongated skid members each having tip portions being inwardly inclined toward the longitudinal axis of the pipe support to facilitate insertion of the carrier pipe within the casing of the horizontally bored hole.
