Saffo regs and back filling

[Headless chicken]

Can anyone enlighten me on the above. We are due to put some new concrete walls up for our silage clamps. I know to meet regs that I need a drain on the outside of this wall. Can anyone confirm if we are able to fill over this drain so the field can run right to the top of the clamp?

Cannot see why not. Ark make their clamps with fill behind the panels.

Get it inspected first.

normally this would be my answer but im rather keen to get it right. No back filling means bigger panels so it’s an expensive f**k up if they find out and it’s wrong.

good point. Do they on exterior walls though?

Hi Headless C, I will drop you a message. The answer is a bit tricky and involves specific drains.
