This toolbox is great ..Plenty of room for grease gun straps shackles - what's not great it the fact when you wanna get in it for a strap or shackle you need to stop the machine and take key out which is not so good....having a second key somewhere isn't ideal ..for us it needs to simply turn for access and locking not a necessity but can't stick out for obvious reasons.

Can you buy a turning setup that fits flush ? AND DOESN'T NEED A KEY :)

So we've exposed this chamber it is leaking grd water in due to the ground pressure and lack of concrete. There is no base under it so everything is moving.
We are going to take it out install a base. Then thinking of using a concrete 1m high ring with the current chamber inside and concrete the void between the chamber and ring to try and keep costs down.
Anyone see an issue with this.
The concrete pipe is redundant.
Water level is around 100mm above the top of main pipe at present

I'm guessing the aim is to not have to concrete the whole excavation ??

Yeah its all 40mm stone in that area from whoever did the original
Get your hands on some 8mm corrugated plastic sheets, correx/beamform whatever you want to call it, and some 150mm deck chair mesh spacers.

Place deck chairs vertically against chamber

Wrap with corrugated sheets

Secure with tying wire

Fill between chamber and sheets with semi dry

Backfill hole at same time

I've never had any trouble backfilling simultaneously with concrete and crush. Build concrete up well compacted with a trowel. Then crush put in with trench compactor. And repeat. More time consuming but I doubt it comes close to the cost of a concrete ring.

How deep is that chamber? Got to be on the limit for maximum depth at that size ring!

Small Inspection Chambers​

Small PPIC (polypropylene inspection chamber) up to 300mm diameter are generally only allowed to go to a depth of 600mm (0.6m) due to the narrow width of the chamber. These can be used in areas close to a house and near to the top of a drain.


Standard Inspection Chambers​

Standard PPIC up to 450mm diameter are only allowed to go to a max depth of 1200mm (1.2m) as they are big enough for a child to fall down. These chambers will provide for good access for any rodding/cleaning that needs to take place.


Inspection chambers to go deeper than 1.2m​

450mm AXEDO® inspection chambers can be used up to a depth of 3m but only if they are installed with a chamber reducing ring. This means that the opening will be restricted to a size of 350mm.

Reducing the size from 450mm down to 350mm will prevent someone from falling inside the manhole.

Although 450mm chambers can be installed at a much bigger depth than 1.5m they very rarely are, as rodding becomes much more difficult at this depth. Because of this, chambers are usually used in any modern installation as access points.

That's hardcore just waiting to be used :ROFLMAO: Looks like you've had some decent weather over there, can't remember when i last saw some dry muck!
Do you have a plan for the Tilty?
Yes im on with it .. got a price off engcon and waiting to hear back from rototilt - kinshofer nox won't supply a tr07 and only the tr11 which is too heavy a lump so that rules that out unfortunately.
Shouldn't be too long though :)

They did offer when machine was still in uk but lead time was too long, I've since messaged them but got no response.
Might not be the ultimate but I fancy 4 or 6 pipe and keep the machines sticks - so I could easy swop over.

Yep it's slightly over i think but the client wants to go with this. We've put so many runs right its ridiculous. This was a branch capped off with 2 bricks, other end leading to a downpipe then onto a toilet, all feeding to the old sceptic tank
