I'll put the rest bend in where I can to get the 1 in 80 fall and see how I get on. Thanks for the advice

It depends what your protecting it from. If it’s vehicle pressure it needs something solid, if it’s UV it could be simply paint or soil.
Concrete each side of the drain in extreme cases.
Adjacent matching material, obvs.
It does not need to be a physical cover, but can be a warning marker of some sort.The point is what precautions do you take where drains are near the surface , cover with what

somebody has said it at last.
so does that mean if the adjacent material is soil you can just cover the drain with a bit of soil
yes,I know that.
wonder if Action Joe now knows what to do or if he will be painting the soil over the drain

I forgot to say my occupation is a soil painter, so I know how to do this bit

Would the drain still work if he did that? What does your book say?
Cool, will drop you a PM, i’ve got a load of soil painting jobs in the pipeline but my usual guy let me down
I wasn't aware you were so desperate for an answer, else I would have said sooner - sorry.
Or a lot of soil if you wish. And that's the beauty of soil.

but you won't be able to use a lot of soil if there isn't much depth of cover , that is the point

Oh, I thought it said ‘make sure you ask a load of daft questions’
Cover it with astro turf.
But what pile length?, that is the question.
You can build the soil up as high as you like. That's what you do in soil areas.but you won't be able to use a lot of soil if there isn't much depth of cover , that is the point
