Black CORE WATER CRATE for a below-ground soakaway.CORE WATER CRATE
01 · What it is

Modular crates that create underground void space for temporary storage and infiltration of collected surface water.

02 · What it does

Connected crates are wrapped in a compatible geotextile to form a below-ground soakaway. The current crate dimensions, storage and structural limits must be confirmed before sizing or specification.

03 · Common uses

Domestic soakaways, Driveway drainage, Roof-water infiltration, Landscape drainage.

Before choosing a soakaway

Confirm that the ground can accept the water. Storage volume, infiltration, cover and loading all affect the final arrangement. Attenuation requires a different verified system and project-specific hydraulic and structural design.

Installation planning

These are coordination principles, not a product-specific method statement.

  • Confirm the exact product, formation, preparation and sequencing before installation.
  • Use compatible adjacent materials and the current guidance for the selected variant.
  • Coordinate the relevant laps, joints, fixings, anchorage, outlets and edge conditions.
  • Agree inspection and hold points appropriate to the product and project risk.
  • Record damage, repairs, concealed work and handover information.

Limitations

Infiltration testing must confirm that the ground is suitable; clay soils may not be appropriate.

Required storage volume, cover, loading, groundwater and maintenance access need project-specific confirmation.
