Hi guys. I have a question (or two).
Our drainage pipe was damaged, so we had to get a trench dug up. I've fell out with the guys who did the job.
Anyway to cut a long story short I've been left with a hole. Not only that, but they also took out what looked like a mixture of solids and clay from under the drain pipe with an SDS drill chisel, so it has little support.
1. What is the mixture of solids and clay and how do I fill under the drainage pipe to support it again?
2. The original surface was concreted, so I'd like to replace this:
a) What materials do I need to make concrete?
b) Can I use rapid set cement as part of concrete material?
c) I plan to work on the weekend which cold/frosty. Is it worth adding something into the concrete mix to help it cure?
Thanks for your help.
