Tests at each planned soakaway let the engineers finish the drainage design.
Soakaways confirmed
01
The uncertainty
A proposed residential development needed ground conditions, groundwater regime and BRE 365 infiltration rates to support its surface water strategy for planning.
02
What we established
Infiltration potential was confirmed at the proposed locations.
03
What changed
The civil engineers could finalise the drainage design and SuDS documentation for planning on site-specific rates, reported the same day.

- BRE 365 testing and groundwater observation
