ᐅ KG pipes for rainwater—are they problematic?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, the excavation contractor was working at my site... I noticed the following:

See attachment.

Question: Can the transition to the zinc gutter stay like this?

I will remove the sand... there will still be waterproofing applied behind it.

The key decision is how much the ground level will be raised during the final site grading. In other words, how much fill will be added?

I heard something about 40cm (16 inches).... I need to check that again.

Usually, there is a galvanized collar on the gutter. Yours is missing.

After paving, the PVC drain pipe can be cut to the correct height and the collar slipped down.

Thanks a lot!

Could you please send a photo of it?
