Capable Noob Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Evening all, Having built up to DPC all round, I'm now building up the floor layers within the rooms of the extension. I have a couple of soil pipes which will need to run partly through the hardcore layer and also through the concrete layer. Any advice on how I should do this would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking about sleeving the 110mm soil pipe inside a 160mm soil pipe (since I have a load of that) within the hardcore and concrete layers. Or should I shutter off the route of the pipe through the hardcore & concrete. Or should I just lay the pipes surrounded by pea shingle and backfill around it and then concrete over? The construction drawings show the layers as follows: 70mm screed 100mm insulation 25mm sand blinding 125mm concrete slab (with A252 mesh) 25mm sand blinding 150mm well compacted hardcore. Also, is it ok to connect the kitchen waste into a soil pipe running from a WC using a strap boss kit (this would be under floorboards)? I hope I've described things ok. Many thanks for any input.

This is what the builder did on ours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
