I have fitted 450mm inspection chamber (had to be changed from 300mm after correspondence with BCO (grrrrr). I know about bedding the drainage runs in pea gravel etc. But what about the chambers themselves ? A couple of related questions.
- The plastic chamber has a hollow base formed by the underside of the moulding, and little legs around the edge. I've left a good space
- How do you backfill around the chamber ? With pea gravel, or with soil. Note that eventually a recess cover filled with paving will be placed on top, and this will need to be supported by a good ring of concrete around the chamber, and I can't see how this concrete can be supported on pea gravel around the chamber.
Thanks, Simon.
