Soakaway Testing

BRE Digest 365 Soakaway and BS6297 Percolation Testing, Devon

To assist with planning for the redevelopment of a single residential property SWG undertook Soakaway testing in accordance with BRE Digest 635 for storm water drainage design and Percolation testing in accordance with BS6297 for septic tank soakaway design. It was a small side and so a small tracked excavator was used to access the site. Unfortunately the very low permeability clayey ground meant that soakaways were not suitable this time and an alternative drainage strategy was required.
