Cellular Soakaways and on Plot Drainage
(by Housing Association or Freeholders)
The principle means of surface water disposal from the development is by way of infiltration, in part
to an infiltration pond and porous paving, however, there are a number of cellular soakaways. These
soakaways will take the form of buried crate‐based storage.
As all hardstanding areas are porous, there will be no gullies or linear drainage channels, thus the
ability of detritus to enter the storm water system is significantly reduced.
The following measures are to be undertaken to ensure the longevity of the surface water drainage
system;
Quarterly
i) Inspect the performance of the soakaways by lifting the cover of the chamber immediately
upstream of the feature and check that the outlet pipe (into the crates) is free of
obstruction and visible (i.e. not submerged). If the outlet pipe is submerged then remedial
action may be required. Remedial advice to be sought from a suitably qualified consulting
infrastructure engineer.
Every 6 months
ii) Remove silt build up from all catchpits and manholes. Items to be observed and cleared
are high levels of grit, leaves and other such detritus. The main aim of these inspections
will be to prevent siltation, which, if allowed to develop will reduce the effectiveness of
the system.
Surface Water Sewers (within main spine road)
(by Management Company)

system, where located beneath estate roads, shared parking courts or POS etc.
The following measures are to be undertaken to ensure the longevity of the surface water drainage
