installation guide

expert tips and best practices.

Designed to be incorporated in a culvert where the backfill material around the pipe forms an effective plug. To achieve a good cut-off it is recommended that the pipe opening should be at a height of at least 200mm so that the base of the unit is well grounded in the ditch bottom. The units should be bedded on 100mm of concrete extending at least 600mm in front for the full width of the ditch. The pipe should finish flush or protrude slightly from the wall, and the gap around sealed with cement mortar. Care should be taken to backfill and consolidate suitable soil behind the unit to achieve the best possible seal. Where side walling is to be used, keep the excavations into the batter as narrow as practicable. Be sure to provide support under the walls at each end with suitable padstone or 100mm of concrete. Seal the gaps between the walls and the sides with good quality mastic.
