FAQs

What does Appendix B contain in QLDC LDSC 2020?

It contains normative standard construction drawings covering typical details for drainage systems, underground utilities, and related connection structures.

What requirements are specified for trenching and pipe installation?

It specifies marker tape and warning strips, minimum separations for telecom cables, bedding and embedment placement, and compaction to provide a flat firm base while minimizing pipe settlement.

How does the appendix address different pipe types and support conditions?

It distinguishes rigid and flexible pipe classes and provides guidance on support types (including cases requiring geotextile overlay and particular native soil conditions), referencing related drawings and notes.
