  1. Task 008 Underground drainage
    The task given to the group was to rearrange a manhole and connection to a soil stack vent pipe. The group work has manly been carried out by Lewis again. The others need to be more involved.
    The common defects you have listed are mainly for above ground drainage. Please also break down your cost so that I can see what you are allowing for.
