Using the U17-5 in Solihull
Solihull is a borough of semis (37.5%) and detached houses (28.5%), and 72.2% of households own their home. Drives, extensions and garden rooms are the usual work, and the U17-5 handles them.
Before the council lowers a kerb it wants a drive at least 5.5 m deep and a permeable hardstanding. The U17-5 digs out, the dumper clears, and the BOMAG roller compacts the base.
Much of the borough is on clay. Near trees, footings may need to go deeper, so follow your engineer.
Before the U17-5 arrives in Solihull
- Check for Tree Preservation Orders near the dig.
- Measure the side access: 1.0 m clear.
- Run a LinesearchbeforeUdig search.
- Have an adult on site for the handover.
