The predominant soil in this area is clay. If the facility is heated do these foundations also have to go to the frost depth? Depending on the soil, one inch of rigid insulation is equal to approximately one foot soil depth, therefore if the frost line for your area is 4 ft deep, and you are installing a water line at the 3 ft mark, you must lay 1" thick rigid insulation above the whole length the water pipe.
