What We Do

Part of Land Science, we carry out soakage testing (also known as percolation or infiltration tests) for the design of different soakaways, including drainage fields and SuDS. We can provide a wide range of testing to different standards (p5) including BRE365, BS5930, Approved Document H1 and H3, and NHBC 5.3. We can also drill, test and install deep borehole soakaways.

We have considerable experience in undertaking site investigation soakage testing, both for conventional soakaway design, as well as the drilling, testing and installation for borehole soakaways.

This website is aimed at anyone from self-builders, to engineers and designers looking to explore different testing options. If you know what you need, you can purchase a test through our website. For more complex or specific work, please get in touch for a quote.

SOAKAGE TESTING

Why Are Soakaways Important?

The building regulations (H3) require rainwater from roofs and paved areas to be drained to an infiltration system such as a soakaway; failing that it may be disposed of to a watercourse or as a last resort a sewer (if available).

 

Soakaways and other infiltration devices are also a critical part of sustainable development. Pumping water into drains is wasting a precious resource and can cause significant problems downstream.

SOAKAGE TESTING

Which Kind Of Test Do I Need?

The choice of testing must be specific to the type of soakaways to be considered (which in turn will depend on the ground conditions and the level of detail required). We have a support section to assist you in choosing the right testing, but if you need further help, please send us an enquiry with as much information as possible so we can help you to build your quote.
