out of interest, why can't you terram over the crates and type one. will it sink?? or are you a "belt and braces" man!

Tony I use those channels a lot they're not 252 rated but are fine for domestic drives. Top tip for you though take a grinder to every second nib on the tops because they're impossible to get off once everythings installed and tight. They sit very well with the missing nibs I've used them on that last set of pictures I've posted I pay about £6.10 each.
Can't see it from my house

it was too wet for later pics
crates were surrounded by terram and shingle pipe was then laid on top and covered in more terram and shingle
then the mesh and concrete
then the terram and geogrid
I am not really happy about putting crates under someones drive and so would rather approach it belt and braces for a few quid extra
got gas ,electric and sewers to the lawn so could go that way
I hear ye paul about those channels,i had to remove some covers after a blockage and it nearly broke my heart,however i do like the wavy lines
found those flat tops in pinewood dan,they are smooth on 3 sides which i kinda liked
cheers LLL

unless you have a account at the plant if its owned by tarmac they wont talk to you, usually 1ton min mix,if you dont have a insulated truck chances are you wont get a load, i would stick to the bagged stuff or cross a reinstatments gang with silver MSHlutonlagerlout wrote:btw i may just go to the local tarmac plant and swallow it
what should i ask for I am guessing about .4 of a tonne but what mix?
cheers LLL

.8t min mix, without a way of keeping its heat (insulated body etc) you'll be fighting a loosing battle.

I hate the plastic channels, probably because most of my work is surfaced with bitmac and the heat destroys anything plastic.Pablo wrote:I pay about £6.10 each.
You're paying nigh-on what I buy the resin 100mm Aco raindrains at for plastic items....it pays to shop around.

Always very satisfying to have a line pulled through a drainage run after putting it all into a measure off a drainage drawing and it comes in like this...........

And on the upside, we've got the best drying room any site could ever wish for....the boilerhouse! Toasty warm! Found one of the site labourers asleep tucked in beside one of the boilers yesterday afternoon! Got to say, he was well hidden....
It's a great place to dry the drawings out during breaktimes

pull the other one dave
i can get cheapo resin ones for tenners but the metal is poor
my supplier reckons aco are up their own arse and dont want to deal with anyone doing less than 100k a year
i didnt used to believe it but i reckon the hdpe ones are superior apart from where hot work is involved :;):
