Does your soakwell need to be replaced ? Do you need a soakwell for your new house ?
Drainwell soakwells are only 440mm high therefore they are an ideal high water table soakage solution.
What is a Soakwell ?
Soakwells are underground structures that collect and release unwanted water, in particular, excess stormwater. The collected stormwater seeps back into the ground. As a result, the storm water merges with the local groundwater.
A soak well forms a void just below the surface of the ground. Stormwater pipes discharge stormwater into the void within the soakwell, subsequently, water infiltrates back into the ground.
The rate of seepage back into the ground is determined by the open area inside the soakwell as well as the absorption rate of the surrounding earth. In addition, Geotechnical engineers can perform soil tests to obtain this information if required.
Drainwell Soakwells have a very effective infiltration surface area. For this reason, the stormwater can soak away into the ground at a faster rate than other types of soak wells. In addition, Drainwell Soakwells are wrapped in geo filter wrap which prevents sand from entering the soak wells.
KEY DRAINWELL BENEFITS
Polypropylene DIY Soakwells
Drainwell Plastic Soakwells are supplied in a flat-pack kit form, hence the term DIY soakwells. Plastic Soakwells consist of panels which are simply clipped together by hand. The plastic stormwater crates are light weight for easy handling. Furthermore, soakaway crates do not require a concrete paving slab or concrete soakwell lid above them.
Polypropylene vs Concrete Soakwells
Polypropylene Soakwells usually cost less to install than concrete soakwells. Furthermore, concrete soakwells are heavy and difficult to install. When polypropylene soakwells have been installed, it is easy to access them again. As a result, they are easier to maintain.
Drainwell Soakwells can be installed under concrete slabs, as well as under driveways, and under car parking areas.
Cut out guides are used to insert a 90mm PVC pipe into either the side or the top of the Drainwell Plastic Soakwell.
