hi guys.
im in the process of building a conservatory and as i dug out for the footings i came across 2 100mm plastic drains,1 is deffo rwp,the other is probably same as it joints right under where i want to lay the foundations.
now as the pipe from the rwp gulley in only 400mm below groung level and i want to put .5m of concrete down as an adequate depth.
1..can i encase the pipe in concrete or do i have to build under and around it so as to not put any pressure on it..?
2..re-route the pipe to meet the other away from where i want to concrete?
now the other pipe is 3m from the house wall and 600mm depth,again right under where i want to lay the foundations,can i put 100mm of shingle over the pipe and carry on concreting over it?
i have looked at part H regs which say leave around 50mm gap around the pipe if its plastic..
any advice would be appreciated guys.
