Min pipe coverage.

[Russell griffiths]

Evening, can anybody point me in the right direction 

what is the minimum soil coverage over the top of a drain run, 

 

1. If it was running parallel with the house and going to have a concrete foot path over it, no vehicle access. 

 Thanks. Russ.

I read that as min 75mm +slab.

 

I have dug out others a lot shallower than that. id say 50mm of concrete on top and you should be fine but it all depends if it has to be passed by someone.
