Soakaway Assessment
A Soakaway Assessment is a crucial investigation for anyone planning a construction project that requires efficient surface water drainage. Homeowners, developers, and businesses looking to install Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS), such as soakaways, need to ensure that their ground conditions are suitable for infiltration. This is where an Infiltration Test, also known as a Soakage Test or Drainage Test, comes in. By conducting a Soakaway Feasibility Study, our experts assess whether the soil can effectively absorb rainwater, preventing surface water flooding and reducing pressure on main drainage systems. The assessment follows industry-standard procedures, including percolation testing in accordance with BRE 365, to determine the viability of a soakaway system. Whether you are seeking planning approval, managing runoff from a new driveway, or ensuring compliance with local drainage regulations, our specialist consultancy can provide accurate, reliable results to help you make informed decisions about your drainage solutions.
