Sub-surface drainage space that manages surface water and stormwater runoff allowing for gradual infiltration.
Soakaway is a sub-surface drainage technology that manages surface water and stormwater runoff on site. It is essentially a pit with several holes in the ground that collects rainwater before further dispersing into the earth. Filling the holes in the pit with materials such as stones and rubbles slows the infiltration of water into the ground, instead of discharging it immediately to an offsite location such as a sewer. ACO StormBrixx is an example of a plastic geocellular soakaway system for the attenuation and infiltration of water. The design consisting of brick-bonding and cross-bonding is flexible. It can be used across various construction environments either as a standalone solution or part of an integrated sustainable urban drainage (SuDS) scheme.
