Infiltration devices should not be built: a) _ within 5m of.a building or road or in areas of unstable land (see Planning Policy Guidance Note 14 Annex 1); b) _in ground where the water table reaches the bottom of the device at any time of the year; ©) _ sufficiently far from any drainage fields, drainage mounds or other soakaways so that the overall soakage capacity of the ground is not exceeded and the effectiveness of any drainage field is not impaired (see Approved Document H2); d)__ where the presence of any contamination in the runoff could result in pollution of groundwater source or resource. 8.26 Soakaways for areas less than 100m* soakaways are generally formed from square or circular pits, filled with rubble or lined with dry- jointed masonry or perforated ring units. Soakaways serving larger areas are generally 1ed pits or trench type soakaways. 8.27 Soakaways should be designed to a return period of once in ten years. The design should be carried out with storms of differing durations to determine the duration which gives. the largest storage volume. For small soakaways serving 25m or less a design rainfall of 10mm in 6 minutes may be assumed to give the worst case. For soakaways serving larger areas reference should be made to the sources listed in paragraph 3.30. Where the ground is marginal overflow drains can be acceptable. 3.28 Percolation tests should be carried out to determine the capacity of the soil (see Approved Document H2 paragraphs 1.34 to 1.98).

The inflow volume is calculated from the rainfall depth (see paragraph 3.26) and the area drained.

For drained areas above 100m", soakaways ‘can be precast ring or of tench type and not substantially deeper than soakaways that serve small areas: 3 o4mis adequate if ground conditions allow. Although limiting the depth does mean the length must be increased, trench soakaways are cheaper to dig with readily available excavating equipment. Soil infiltration characteristics ‘Themethod of determination must give representative results forthe proposed site ofthe soakaway. This is achieved by: © Excavating a trial pit of sufficient size to representa section of the design scakaway. ‘© Filling the pit several times in quick succession whilst monitoring the rate of seepage, to represent soil moisture conditions typical ofthe site when the soakaway becomes operative, (© Examining site data to ensure that variations in soil conditions, areas of filled land, referential underground seepage routes, variations in the level of groundwater, and any geotechnical and geological factors likely to affect the long-term percolation and stability of the area surrounding the soakaway have been assessed.

Overall depths of excavation will be typically 1.5 to 2.5 m for permeable areas up to 100m? draining to the soakaway. ‘The trial pit should be 0.3 to lm wide and I to 3 mong, It should have vertical sides trimmed square and, iftecessary for stability, should be filled with granular ‘material. When granular fill is used, a full-height, perforated, vertical observation tube should be positioned in the pit so that water levels can be monitored with a dip tape. It should be possible to construct suitably dimensioned pit with a backhoe loader or mini-exeavator. Narrow, short pits use less water forthe soakage tests but may be more difficult to trim and clean prior to testing. Measure the pit carefully before trials. For safety reasons do not enter the pit. A lot of water will be used to determine the sil {infiltration rate so water bowser may be needed. The inflow should be rapid so that the pit can be filled to its ‘maximum effective depth in a short time, ie to the design invert level ofthe drain tothe soakaway. Take care that the inflow does not cause the walls of the pit to collapse. Fill the pit and allow itto drain three times to near empty; ‘each time record the water level and time ftom filling, at intervals sufficiently close to clearly define water level versus time (Figure 2). The three fillings should be on the same or consecutive days, CCateutste the soil infiltration rate from the time taken for the water level to fall froma 75% to 25% effective storage depth in the pit, using the lowest f value of the three test, results for design: where: Ys Soil nftraton ate, f = 2-8 a Apso X Fyns— 25 ¥, ‘og-a5 = the effective storage volume of water in the trial pit between 75% and 25% effective depth the internal surface area of the tial pit up to 50% effective depth and including the base the time for the water level to fall from 75% 10 25% effective depth. Ifthe test pit is deeper than about 3 m, it may be difficult to supply sufficient water fora fall-depth soakage test. Tests ‘may be conducted at less than full depth but determinations of the soil infiltration rate may be lower than those from the {ull-depth test. This is because relationships between depth of water in the soakage pit, the effective area of outflow and ‘the infiltration rate can vary with depth, even when soil, conditions themselves do not vary. The variation in infiltration rate with the depth at which the determination is made may beas much as a factor of two, From the resultsof a soakage trial in Figure 2, the calculated infiltration rate based upon a fal of water level from: © 75% to 50% effective depth is 5.1 x 10% m/s © 50% to 25% effective depths 2.9 x 10° m/s ‘The design method adopts the result determined from 75% 10.25% effective depth of 3.3 x 10 m/s (see the box on page 5), Ifitis impossible to carry outa full-depth soakage test, soil infiltration rate calculation should be based on the time namionaL, ORS Figure 1 Ratio of 60-minute to 2-day rantals ofS year return period -from Design and analysis of urban storm damage (Department ofthe Eavionment) for fall of water level fiom 75% to 25% of the actual _maximam water depth achieved in the test. The effective area of loss from the coskage pit is then calculated as the internal surface area ofthe pitto 50% maximum depth achieved plus the base area of the pit. In general, soakage trials should be undertaken where the drain will discharge to the soakaway. The use of full-depth and of repeat determinations at locations along the fine of trench, soakavays is very important when soil conditions vary; if the soil is fissured, infiltration rates can vary enormously. In these situations, a preliminary design length for the proposed soakaway should be calculated from the first Soakage trial pitresult and, ifthe design length exceeds 10 m,a second trial shouldbe carried out atthe design Calculating sol infitration rate Figuro2 shows typical fied obsecvations from a scakage tral pit Iewas known thatthe invert ofthe discharge drain wasto be | mbelow ground surface.

Inall ground conditions, a second trial pit should be dug ifthe trench, soakaway (designed on the basis of one trial pit)is longer ‘than 25 m; further trial pits are needed at intervals of 25 m ‘along the line of long soakaway. IFmore than one trial pit is used, the mean value of the soil percolation rates determined from the trial pits is edopted forthe final design. ime of emptying of soakaway — ‘The soakaway should discharge from full tohali-volume within 24 hours in readiness for subsequent storm inflow. Construction details ‘Maintenance of soakaways has always presented problems, usually in finding them! This is certainly the case with rubble-filled ones. All soakaways should be provided with some form of inspection access, sothat the point of| discharge ofthe drain to the soakaway can be seen. This ‘access will identify the location and will allow material to bbe cleared from the soakaway. Little monitoring of soakaway performance is done, but this could be most informative about changes in soil infiltration rate and in warning of soakaway blockage in the long term, The inspection access should provide aclear view to the base ofthe soakaway, even when the soakaway is ofthe filled ype (Figure 3). For small, filled soakaways, a 225 mm perforated pipe provides suitable inspection well Lined soakaways have the advantage of access for inspection and cleaning and this should be feature ofall soskaways, Trench-type soakaways should baveat least ‘wo inspection access points, one at each end ofa straight ‘reach, with a horizontal perforated or porous distributor pipe linking the ends along the top of the granular fill (Figure 4).
