I have water and gas pipes running through my foundations. Please can someone tell me the best way to bridge them with lintels and a step by step guide how to do it.

Many Thanks

If they are actually running through the concrete of the foundations they can be ducted through with circular drain pipes of a slightly larger diameter than the pipe. This will not affect the integrity of the foundation. If the pipes need to go through the brickwork etc a lintel should be put in over the hole and it should have a minimum of 150mm bearing either side of the hole.
