Frequently Asked Questions • Alaska Plumbing Estimating
Q:What is a utilidor in Alaskan plumbing estimating?
In permafrost and extreme Arctic regions of Alaska, pipes cannot be buried because the ground is permanently frozen. Instead, utilities run through an insulated, heated above-ground conduit or tunnel called a utilidor.
