New build in progress

Rainwater downpipe -> bottle gulley -> ~6m land drain (occasional cars or light vans driving over) with ballast bench & cover

What material for land drain? 
What to use over that to protect from weight of vehicles? (details welcome, novice here)

What's the cover from the pipe to surface? Normally you'd backfill with lean mix concrete if cover is 400mm or less. Is this a perforated or solid pipe? Twinwall is pretty damn near indestructible. I stuck the digger bucket in to a section the other day and it survived. Nice and bendy, PVC shatters.

Less than 400mm cover from pipe to surface. Perforated pipe.
Leaning towards twinwall.
Lean mix backfill over seems a good idea
