Abstract: A sliding pipe supporting arrangement (2) adapted to receive and support at least one pipe or jacketed pipe assembly comprising main support means (9) comprising at least one opening to support a pipe. The arrangement further comprises an assembly of spring arrangement (6) and ball transfer unit (7), coupled to the main support means so as to isolate differential displacement in lateral and vertical direction of the pipe. The assembly unit comprises a top plate (3), middle plate (4) and a bottom plate (5). The spring arrangement further comprises a plurality of springs positioned in between the top plate (3) and the middle plate (4) facilitating the vertical displacement of the pipe. The ball transfer unit (4) also comprises plural rollers positioned between the bottom plate (4) and middle plate (5) facilitating lateral displacement of the pipe and an expansion joint arrangement (8) placed in between pipe lengths of a pipe to attenuate the axial displacement of the said pipe.
