At Brownfield Solutions, we provide professional soakaway infiltration testing to determine infiltration rates in soils and rock. A soakaway test, also called an infiltration test or soakage test, measures how quickly water drains into the ground, so you can size a soakaway or SuDS scheme correctly. Brownfield Solutions carries out soakaway and infiltration testing to BRE Digest 365, the standard method for soakaway design, giving you the soil infiltration rate (in metres per second) your drainage engineer needs for the design calculation.
You receive a clear report with the measured infiltration rate and the data your engineer needs to design the soakaway to BRE 365 and support a planning or building control submission.
