Good practice
The following are general principles of good site practice which
will contribute to successful installations:
Handling
Handle all products with care on site.
Avoid damage to edges and faces.
On-site storage
Prior to installation, stack materials bed on bed on a hard
level surface: protect from rain.
Sitework
Protect channels and gratings from concrete droppings and mortar
splashes during installation. This may be achieved by temporary
covering of openings with hardboard or plywood sheeting.
Protect slot apertures (especially if no iron insert is
included) from stone damage during construction, particularly where
site vehicle trafficking is likely after system installation.
Do not begin construction of adjacent footways and/or surfacing
of carriageways until base and haunch concrete have achieved
adequate strength.
