Drainage Soakaway Tank

Soakaway tank providing drainage of treated water or stormwater into the ground.

Soakaway tanks are valuable in stormwater and wastewater management, offering benefits such as controlling rainwater runoff to prevent flooding and soil erosion and easy disposal for treated wastewater.

The tank aids in groundwater recharge, replenishing vital water sources, and act as natural filters. As a key component of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), soakaway pits contribute to environmentally friendly water management.

Features and benefits:

• Lightweight and strong.
• Easy to transport.
• Cheaper, easier and quicker to install compared to traditional glass reinforced plastic (GRP) constructions.
• Environmentally beneficial.
• Mitigates flooding and soil erosion.
• Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
• Resistant to corrosion and frost.
• The grating built into the lid, makes it suitable to assist with hard ground run off water dispersal into the ground to prevent yard flooding (concrete, tarmac or similar).

The application site requires a BRE-365 percolation test to ensure the ground stability. Various quantities of the soakaway tanks could be employed to disperse roof water, ground run off and any other stormwater issues as well as treated effluent being disposed of into the ground.
