Information on Duraslot installation, assembly and field cut is given in this guide.
Duraslot’s installation and backfill conditions will vary depending on the slotted pipe’s diameter and expected loading application. Detailed burial depth and backfill information should be determined before construction begins.
Duraslot installation guidelines and tips can be found in the instructions. The installation guidelines are as follows:
1) Excavate pipe trench corresponding to the site plans and follow along with other guidelines given.
2) Place base material level in the trench bottom.
3) Place and assemble Duraslot pieces in bottom of trench by referring to the Duraslot Assembly Guide. If not connecting to a basin, a Duraslot adapter is required to connect to outlet pipe or structure.
4) Cover slot riser opening to prevent debris from entering system.
5) Brace the Duraslot so that it remains in place securely.
6) Backfill the trench with appropriate material per the application’s loading requirements.
7) Remove the bracing around the slot riser.
8) Backfill any remaining part of the trench to final grade.
