Backfilling Guidelines
After shrinking is complete, allow the sleeve to cool for 2 hours prior to lowering and backfilling. To prevent damage to the sleeve, use selected backfill material, (no sharp stones or
large particles) otherwise an extruded polyethylene mesh or other suitable shield should be used.
