Here at Teckna Group, our borehole soakaway designs can be used where a traditional style of soakaway won’t work. This can be due to geological properties which mean site conditions and whereabouts mean traditional drainage will be too expensive to install. A deep bore soakaway provides the ideal alternative and can be used in various domestic and commercial projects.
Borehole soakaway design
Soakaway borehole drilling is a similar process to that of water borehole drilling and similarly installs WRAS approved PVC casing and screens.
To understand the geology below the site, a free desktop site assessment must be carried out. This will provide a quote for the project with costings for the design, drilling, installation and testing clearly outlined.
Why a soakaway borehole is useful
Soakaway boreholes are extremely useful as they provide a smart alternative to a traditional way of drainage, being a far more cost-effective option, whilst still achieving the desired outcome with the same amount of quality. They have a huge impact on the surrounding environment by offering an efficient way of collecting surface water and preventing flooding. Providing a good source of drainage they also help to keep the ground soil moist and in optimum condition.
Soakaway borehole drilling
We install soakaways and like our they offer the following:
- All relevant health and safety information and requirements.
- Drilling using rotary air/mud drilling techniques to the required depth.
- Installation of the relevant liner using perforated for lower section and solid above
- Installation of suitable gravel pack to support the liner and allow easy percolation.
- Grouting of the borehole.
- Permeability Testing for flow rates to DIGEST 365 standards
- Supplying and fitting of the siphon head.
