Verified scope
What this product is.
CORE WATER CRATE forms below-ground void storage for a soakaway. It is only suitable where ground testing, groundwater, location, cover, loading, inspection and overflow support infiltration; attenuation requires a separately designed sealed system and controlled outlet.
Ordering information
Codes and formats.
Confirm against the current controlled dimensions before design or ordering.

Applications
Where it can be considered.
- Domestic soakaways
- Garden and pedestrian areas
- Selected light-vehicle areas subject to design
- Below-ground infiltration storage
Limitations
Where judgment is required.
A percolation or infiltration assessment is required; heavy clay can make a soakaway unsuitable.
The crate is not automatically suitable for attenuation, multiple-crate vehicle arrays or HGV loading.
Public dimensions and traffic claims conflict; confirm the controlled product master before calculation.
Location, groundwater, building offsets, overflow, maintenance and exceedance routes need project design.

CORE WATER CRATE questions.
Is a soakaway suitable in clay?
Often not. Infiltration testing and ground assessment must demonstrate that water can disperse at the required rate without unacceptable risk.
What are the exact dimensions?
CORE's current public sources conflict, so confirm the controlled product master before sizing or ordering.
Can it go under vehicles?
The published sheet gives 900 mm cover guidance, but vehicle class, crate arrangement, soil, backfill and pavement construction must be confirmed for the project.
