This paper describes the thermal performance of different configurations of trenches using various trench geometries and backfill and insulation materials. A limited number of laboratory tests were conducted to confirm the thermal properties of the backfills reported in the literature. The frost protection of water service is measured in terms of the number of days it takes for the frost front to reach the depth of water service lines under sustained subzero surface temperatures. The study specifically included typical granular materials used within the City of Ottawa (for-merly the Region of Ottawa\u2013Carleton), but the findings can be equally applied to other urban areas in Canada where the surficial terrain is rocky. The thermal analys...
