How To Raise A Manhole Using 9 Inch Brickwork

In this video I show you how to raise a manhole using 9inch birckwork. The manhole I had to raise was in a pathway I was building.. the whole pathway I was building was formed using 80mm block pavers, the pathway was constructed with 4inch of concrete.. reinforced mesh will be used in the pathway too.

Before raising a manhole you'll need to take measurements from fixed heights then work out how many courses you'll need to get to the height plus allowing for bedding down the frame.. the best way to set the frame in is to use two lines from your finished height transferring over the frame, this will give you the best results.

You definitely wanna be precise!!!..wow.. Nice job my friend..
Very little brick work here on ground or roads .. Homes in my area are brick because there is lots of sand and gravel but most spots in Canada are not

Do you have to lay the bricks the way you did, is there a problem if you just make a 1 course rectangle to raise the height 1 brick worth? This is what mine needs, the rest of the ground will be mot1 levelled to the new height. The reson i ask iis ive got enough spare bricks lting around to do this method, however if its not advisable ill have to buy more.
