 1 - TRENCH FLOOR PREPARATION
Ensure that the trench floor is smooth and firm, and within the design trench floor level limits of 80 mm minimum to 150 mm maximum 82
below the bottom of the pipe, before placing any of the bedding.
o lf the trench floor is in firm natural soil and an excavator is being used, it will normally be sufficient to trim it smooth with the excavator bucket.
. lf the trench floor is in rock, backfill between peaks over 30 mm high with sand compacted to 100% of SMDD* before placing any bedding.
. lf the trench floor has been over-excavated below design trench floor level, backfill with sand compacted to 100% of SMDD* to bring it back
up to design trench floor level before placing any bedding.
o Remove loose soil or rock rubble from the floor of the trench.
o lf the trench floor wholly or partially consists of: verv soft clay. loose sand. old or non-enqineered fill. or refuse, OR has isolated outcrops of Trench Fill Overlay
rock in it, OR has been disturbed by groundwater inflow, seek specialist geotechnical advice. 300 min finished fhickness

2- BEDDING PLACEMENT
Do not compact the bedding - simply rake or screed to grade. Dig out pockets to clear the pipe sockets. Side Supporú
Avoid walking down the centre of the bedding during placing or after it has been placed.

3 - PIPE INSTALLATION
Place the pipe firmly on the bedding, home it, and check that it is in contact with the bedding uniformly along its barrel.
o For small diameter pipes, lift the end of the pipe and inspect the contact with the bedding visually. For larger or heavier pipes, check the /
contact with the bedding by attempting to pass a hand under the pipe. Bedding
F ¡ lf it is found that the pipe barrel does not have uniform contact with the bedding, pack in additional embedment sand. Trench Floor
