Smooth or even surfaces of junction with the rock or masonry should be avoided - The concrete or earth should be formed as will lock in and impede any tendency to a crack or water suck take place between two smooth plain surfaces if there happen to be the last vent under pressure. A thick bed of mortar ought in all cases to be used (say not less than an inch thick) to bed one surface to the other, Concrete to Rock or Masonry - to Earth - or to puddle.
I do not feel competent to give any opinion on Local knowledge. The Estimates generally required for the knowledge of the works planned and will safely and well if carefully executed answer their intended purpose.
