All the soil pipe people do something like this:

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.

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’ve one drain simalar to yours

running parrelel to our build

We has to start high to get the required fall

So about two metres has hardly any cover on it

BC said its ok just put a strong mix over it when I bed the flags
