flanagaj Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago I need to route a rain water drainage pipe under the concrete slab. As you can see from the image there is only about 150mm clearance from the top of the pipe to the underside of the concrete slab (red line) Part H indicates that I need to encase the whole pipe in concrete, but I didn’t find it very clear and wondered if anyone can provide any further guidance on how I should do this. I also wonder whether I should change the pipe for socketed?
BotusBuild Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I have to concrete part of my rainwater drainage as well. Been told it doesn't have to be a strong mix. Must be capable of holding the pipe in place and stopping surrounding ground movement (or wall movement ib your case I guess) I'd remove the pipe bedding you have and prop up with offcuts of blocks then pour concrete. No need to change the pipework.
