The disclosure relates to the construction of a support for above-ground pipelines and can be used for laying pipelines in in permafrost and on slopes. The result of the support is uniform distribution of the load from the pipeline to a bedding cradle, displacement of a movable part in response to predetermined conditions, and prevention of deformation due to soil heaving. The result is achieved due to inclusion of moving and fixed parts. The movable part includes a semi-cylindrical cradle with two semi-annular frames on the outside of the cradle, detachable half-yokes fix the pipe in the cradle, side cheeks welded to the frame and movably fixed to the tower base by a hinged joint, and a base slidably positioned on a stationary surface of the support. The objective is also solved using a support assembly being structurally different than prior art supports, as described herein.
