Reinforced concrete surround slab: a) 100/125mm thick slab: b) 11 TM trench mesh reinforcement in centre of slab: c) 25 MPa grade concrete: d) Finish by wood float or by nylon broom. 3. The top face of the concrete surround slab shall be 100mm Min. above the final surface level (when turf is laid). 4. The concrete slab is to slope away from plinth falling at a slope of 1 in 25. 5. Cable apertures through the precast concrete plinth shall be backfilled to 50mm from the top of plinth. A 30mm deep layer of 1:16 ratio weak mix concrete shall be placed to seal aperture. 6. The surface of the surround slab may be finished with a stencil pattern surface to match the surrounding pavements of the development. (Use Textcrete or equivalent product. Construct to suppliers specifications). 7. Concrete slab to be cast in separate sections on side/s where cables enter/exit to allow future access. Provide Abelflex between sections and around plinth. Concrete edge beam to perimeter 150 wide x 150 deep below finished surface.

NOTES: 1. A ring main unit in parkland shall be located: Away from residential dwellings and surrounding properties to minimise visual and sound impact; As close as possible to the road kerb to allow 24 hour all weather access for personnel, a coventional crane and heavy equipment. 2. When planting vegetation in parklands, ensure vegetation does not encroach on the ring main unit site. Take into consideration the fully matured size of vegetation to allow continuing access to the site. 3. A 3.0m wide cable and access easement or road reserve shall be provided between the ring main unit site and the R.P. Street Alignment. 4. The location of ring main unit sites is based on acceptable separation to adjacent dwellings located as shown. Any reduction in the 1.5m minimum dimension shown on the drawings requires a corresponding relocation of the ring main unit site to maintain the acceptable separation. Parklands Dwelling Refer Note 4
