With the emphasis by local authorities on the use of Sustainable Urban Drainage schemes (SUDs), Soakaway systems have become an important tool when dealing with surface water from a development. Testing is conducted on site using a fieldwork approach to determine the rate at which the ground absorbs a large volume of water.
