Effective Drainage Solutions

To help inform drainage strategy we also conduct soakage tests to comply with BRE365 guidance in order to determine whether soakaways would be an effective drainage solution at a particular site. Soakaways are typically used to collect surface runoff prior to being discharged into the surrounding ground.
