LoundSide Build Project part 3

 

(May take several seconds to load)

 

 At this point we install a connection to drains for future plot 3, Storm and Foul runs on 100mm Pea Gravel Bed

 

 

 

Pea Gravel now completely covers Pipework, over 100mm coverage,

after Compacting with a Whacker plate - Backfilling Starts

 

 

 

 Now Backfilled ready for more compacting and then Type 1 Crushed stone to Lay on Geotextile Mat

 

 

 

This Geotextile will stop the Type 1 Crushed stone from washing away under the Block Paving after rain 

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain.
