4.Pour & vibrate concrete around access cover, and in cover if concrete filled recessed cover is used

5.Level and finish concrete, lay pavers or pavement materials. Urbanfil®/ Pavermate® covers are filled with concrete to minimum depth of 45mm as concrete is integral to strength of these covers. ACO does not recommend tiles deeper than 25mm in Urbanfil®covers and pavers more than 40mm deep in Pavermate®covers.
