Gumby:

If you can make the standpipe out of thicker walled pipe, and not the corregated culvert stuff, weld it together on site. If you are worried about ice, try and weld a few braces between the standpipe and the new culvert as high on the standpipe as you can, at a 45� angle. If you make the braces from 1/4 wall angle, it will hold up better than just flat stock.
