INSTALLATION Filling around the pipe Filling around the pipe can only start when the position of the pipe has been checked and approved. Compression Avoid tipping the filling directly onto the pipe. If a machine is used for compression, the equipment’s own weight and impact force must be adapted to conditions. The filling should be compressed to at least 93%. Filling the excavation Soil from the excavation can be used for filling, but larger stones and blocks are not to be used. Compression of the filling material outside reinforced areas is not necessary if the settling will not cause...
