Wacker Plate Near Drain/Manhole

[Dave1UK]

Is there a safety risk of using a wacker plate near/too close to the drain/manhole leading to a collapse? Or even just generally along the 'route' of the drainage pipe?

The brickwork itself seems to be in ok shape a few bricks that could do with replacing near the top end may do so.

You'll be ok.

OP,
No problem. Go ahead.
Using a wacker plate is common in reinstating ground work, esp. where you have a hard surface like you have.
