Installation Instructions
Common to all units
Due to the wide variety of site conditions it is inappropriate to give specific information on depths of dig under the structure that is required to support the headwall. Because the ground pressure is low (typically 6.5kn/m2) we suggest a sub base of 100mm dry mix concrete just to give a level foundation to sit the headwall onto.

1.

Dig out the bank of the watercourse to take the size of the headwall making sure that the headwall will not protrude into the path of the water flow.

5.

Backfill in front and under toe with mass concrete while backfilling of wing walls is recommended to be with well compacted impervious clay.

2.

Dig out sufficient size trench to take the toe along the front of foundation.

6.

Position pipe in prepared trench and insert through backwall of headwall (flush if with flap valve or grating - 50mm protrusion if not).

3.

Lay a 100mm thick bed of semi dry concrete as a foundation to sit the headwall level or with a slight fall 1:50 from pipe to spill mouth. Note: If an extended toe is required then increase the depth of the dig to achieve required depth. 7. 8.

Fill void around pipe with cement mortar. If flap valve or grating is supplied then fit against face of headwall using stainless steel fixing bolts into cast in sockets. See note below.

4.

Using frimeda lifting clutches in the anchor positions on the wing walls (with a spreader bar or long chains to prevent excessive side loading) lift the unit (weight up to 2.5 ton) and swing into position on prepared foundation. (for the H20C separate instructions are available on request or can be viewed on our website). Note: If an extended toe is required place the headwall on a sufficiently high platform to screw in m12 stainless steel studding into sockets on underside of toe before placement. 9.

Backfill around the pipe with mass concrete when satisfied with positioning. Note: when bolting flap valves against headwall use a good quality mastic but do not over tighten bolts or distortion may occur resulting in the valve not seating correctly.
