The architect seems confident that his plans will work—just waiting on feedback from ST now. It’ll be interesting, as this kind of situation isn’t commonly covered online; usually, it's just a straightforward lintel pipe running through the footings and move on.

Here is the proposed drain plan. Unfortunately, the existing drain runs directly in line with the proposed footings at a depth of 1.5 metres—just my luck. My plan is to dig the footings slightly wider and construct heavy-duty shuttering to keep clear of the new soil pipe.Pea gravel around the...

Thanks, Hugh—I absolutely intend to. That’s why I find these forums so useful. I’ve completed some building work in the past and met all the building regs for a rear extension, but it took far too long, Trying to avoid upsetting the neighbours with a side extension lol..

Thankyou Dereekoo appreciated

150mm Soil Pipe – Advice Needed Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I currently have an application open with Severn Trent to modify an existing shared drain. The plan is to relocate the 150mm soil pipe 150mm away from the proposed footing for an extension. The replacement would be a...

Thanks Murdochcar-I'm just trying to get a feel for things before they start making suggestions. I want to go in with some ideas and knowledge, and the help from you all really goes a long way. Just to note, The input I received from my last build here was brought up with the building surveyor...

Really getting into this now—my mate just sent this over (carpenter). Just another idea: since the carport is staying and has gravel, this might actually work?"

Thanks for the reply, Stevie. Yes, it looks like it’s 150mm – the engineering concept seems straightforward. I just wish there were more detailed resources online. Most of the YouTube examples only show minor bridging where the footings cross through a small section, without much explanation of...

Thanks for the quick replay Foxhole,I'm just trying to get my head around this. I’ve sketched out the layout: • Blue = existing manhole and clay pipe • Red = proposed inspection chamber and new run • Yellow = the extension The existing manholes are 1.5 m deep and do not need to be relocated...

Advice Request: Underground Soil Pipe Running Along The complete Length Of The Footings. I’m planning a side extension to my property. The full length of the proposed footing will run in line with an existing 150mm vitrified clay (VC) underground soil pipe, which is approximately 1.5m deep and...

Fantastic, understand perfectly now mate, great help.:)

No idea if I need to do further works, just a little random to have a timber spec with no details, yet another question I need to ask.

Just some Feadback if interested The timber Is related as on one of the drawings you sent attached, it shows a timber purlin so we have generated the load that purlin will impose on the steel beam we have designed.

Thanks guys, engineer emailed back he's looking into it hopefully a mistake.. I'll let u know when he responds. Thanks again

Can't see the timber included in the final drawing.

Wouldn't say a alternative, spam of rear to house 5 metres

Unsure of how to read the force correctly, but I hope the attached helps

Hi Just a quick question, im awaiting structure engineer to reply to email, but it's bugging me now. The council BC attended today all work fine but have questioned why this timber spec on drawing. It's just randomly on there and confused everyone, the calcs are only for steel in rear wall...

Thanks Tony made it all straight forward now mate, much appreciated

Thanks woody, just spoke to a mate he said there builders used Rd curbs and cut down no problem with building control? I'm always over thinking things my trouble..
