Hello all,
I am looking for some advice, building a garden shed.
There is a drain in the way of where I would like to build the foundations, it only serves my property and is 1 pipe in and 1 out. Northumbrian water have said it's private and they have no issues with me moving it.
The drain is about 0.6m deep, there is a Buchan trap inside the drain and it slopes down to the back sewer to about 1.2m. I have dug the foundations down to be 0.8m which should be below the invert of the drain pipe. So shouldn't be any load imposed on the pipe.
My question is, am I ok to smash out the bricks of the chamber and use shuttering or move the chamber
wall to the edge of the foundation and rebuild before the concrete is poured?
I'm probably over thinking it, but the last thing I want is to wreck the drainage line and have my new shed and existing wall have to be torn down to repair it.
Any advice appreciated.
