The intention is to install a new 'crate in geotex' soakaway arrangement just over 5m from the rear of my property. This will accept water from two existing side outlet bottle gullies each collecting roof water run-off. Having carefully studied the Paving Expert site for minimum depth specifications for 110 mm plastic underground pipe, it seems that at no point will the pipes leading to the soakaway be at the minimum 600mm depth specified, especially at the gully ends where there is only c.80mm between the top of the pipe and the finished paving surface. FYI, I did consider the use of a gully risers but even these would not get close to the 600mm depth required.
Do I therefore need to encase the entire lengths of the new pipes in concrete, as the PE site describes?
As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
