Driveway thickness question
Page 1 of 1
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=88570 - didnt realise their was a dedicated concrete section when i posted this
They will use f62 mesh and 100mm thick concrete throughout
the estate specs are 150mm thickness for driveway
but the engineers footings report indicates due to soil type (H2-D) the driveway should be a minimum of 120mm thick with a sl72 reinforcement
my question is should i be going back to the concreter's that have quoted and getting them to spec it as per engineers report
Will be doing a 7x3 meter concrete slab in the back of house to allow for a future pergola - expecting to size it up to extend just beyond the concrete so that its posts don't need to impact it unless i get advise to delay concrete till after pergola is erected - though i assume would be far easier to concrete the back of the house when doing the paths and driveway
wondering if the reason the estate states 150mm thick is due to the soil type as well.
note: If i ever build again ill pay attention to any estate driveway thickness requirements as it may give an indication of the soil type
