How to Identify Quality/Original Stone

Coated Roofing Tiles
The following steps will help to Identify Quality,

For a 1m pipe culvert, the mathematical process of obtaining the required dept is
to sum together the total width of the pipe + base + blinding.

For dept:

A pipe of width 1000 mm, base of 150 mm and blinding of 50 mm(though

optional)..
Hence 1000mm + 150mm + 50mm = 1200mm (1.2 m)

So an excavation of 1200mm (1.2m) is required from the to level of the natural

ground (sub grade level) surface.

For width:

A minimum of (2.5 x width) m is advisable.
For a 1m pipe drainage,
Since the drainage internal width is 1m, using

1.5 x width =
2.5 x 1m = 2.5m
2.5m width excavation minimum is acceptable to create space for construction
work area.

III. The next step after excavation of drainage is the CONCRETE BLINDING
and foundation base preparation.

Blinding (though optional) is done on the surface area in order to correct any
irregularities in level of the bed of the excavated surface, and to provide a
smooth, level and regular surface to receive the concrete base. It’s usually ±50
mm depending on the rate of regularity of the surface area. Concrete grading
C15 is acceptable.
(See concrete grading and mix ratio). A concrete base of ±150 mm is to be laid
or cast on the blinded floor, concrete grade C15 of ratio 1:2:4 is allowed (See
concrete grading and mix ratio).
A guiding panel is placed into position to guild in the laying of the concrete base
in order to achieve a uniformly alignment base edge, thickness and width, also
to manage concrete material while pouring. The base is cast with the U shape
reinforcement bottom in between the concrete base achieving concrete cover
below and above.

IV. After setting, curing and drying of the concrete base, next is to arrange
the pre-cast pipe Culvert/Rings into the align position.

V. After arranging the pre-cast pipe Culvert/Rings into the align position,
arranging the form work panel and then casting of concrete.

Taking the pipe/ring dimension to be 1000 mm (1.0m), the thickness of the

concrete from the form work panel to the pre-cast ring/pipe is 200mm more
or less on both sides depending on the design.

Hence the total width thickness of the drain would be;

i.e. 1000mm + 200mm + 200 mm = 1400mm (1.4m)

The total height of the drain would be;

Taking the pipe/ring dimension to be 1000 mm (1.0m), the thickness of the top
slab concrete from the top of the pre-cast ring/pipe is between 200mm -
300mm more or less depending on the design.

Hence, the total height of the drain would be;

i.e. 1000mm + 300mm = 1300mm (1.4m)

Assuming the thickness of the top slab concrete from the top of the pre-cast
ring/pipe is between 300mm,

Also, the reinforcement for the head wall is placed into position.

The concrete is then cast

Concrete cast.

After casting, and setting, the panel is removed and concrete cured.

VI Back filling and compaction is then carried out in order to avoid

future settlement.

Couldn't be written any better. Reading this post reminds
me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this.
I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a
good read. Thanks for
sharing!http://www.wellingtonpavers.com/
