Soakaway Systems BH4
In the landscaped and constructed environment, the Soakaway System BH4 plays a crucial role as it’s designed to dispose of rainwater and surface water from properties. These systems ensure safe disposal of excess water, by slowly discharging it into the ground, preventing the chances of flooding and waterlogging. For the folks residing in regions with high rainfall, this system is particularly essential.
The BH4 soakaway system function by having a seepage unit, much like an underground tank, where the excess water from roofs, driveways or other hard surfaces is drained. As constructed below ground, the collected water is then absorbed into the surrounding earth, alleviating hydrostatic pressure and guarding against water damage. The system is generally constructed with permeable materials to facilitate easy water absorption.
One must be careful to position a Soakaway System BH4 at least five metres away from a building to prevent structural damage caused by water absorption. It’s best to place them in areas with high soil permeability to enhance the system’s efficiency. All in all, BH4 Soakaway Systems can be a sustainable and environment-friendly solution to manage surface runoff by preventing potential structural and environmental damage caused by flooding. It’s an ideal addition in pre-existing or new constructions alike.
