BRE 365 Soakage Testing
GeoTec Site Investigations provides BRE 365 soakage testing for consultants, developers, drainage engineers and domestic clients.
Infiltration testing to support soakaway and drainage design
BRE 365 soakage testing is used to assess the infiltration capacity of the ground at a proposed soakaway location. The results can help determine whether soakaway drainage is suitable and provide information for drainage design, planning submissions and SuDS strategies.
How the testing helps
A soakage test measures how quickly water drains into the surrounding ground. This helps drainage engineers assess whether the ground can accept surface water and informs the design of a suitable soakaway system.
