How it works – Soakaway Crates
Stormwater enters the plastic soakaway crates through the inlet pipe, which could optionally include a silt trap with silt bucket (sold separately). Water passes through the tank and exits into the ground around it releasing the water slowly, stopping flooding or standing water issues. The kit is wrapped in the non-woven geotextile which is supplied as part of the kit. Non woven is used because it allows water to pass through it. Please do not use woven membranes with soakaway systems as they do not efficiently release the water. The non woven membrane also stops any dirt getting into the system which would reduce its effectiveness.
Don’t forget to perform a percolation test prior to installation. We have a guide in our blog section detailing how to do this. This will ensure that the ground is suitable and is able to release the water effectively.
Soakaway:
The kits are normally best installed in a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 (dependant on the size of the soakaway kit purchased) configuration which would basically just be two layers of crates one on top of the other. They can be installed in any required configuration, however the amount of membrane supplied with this kit is designed for standard configurations so you may want to pick up some extra membrane if you’re looking at installing them in another configuration. If you’re unsure, just give us a call!
Once the kit is in the ground the inlet pipe should be laid over the top, or butted up against the side of the crates and the whole thing should be wrapped in the membrane and then taped up using the supplied tape to keep it in place while the surrounding back and side fill is added.
Benefits:
● Made by a market leading manufacturers
● Quick installation – reduce site access delays
● Increased land usage – tanks are subsurface
● Economical – generally more cost-efficient than any other equivalent system
● Cost-effective – reduced costs for excavation and disposal of the material
● Modular – easy to create any shape
● Strong – designed to support shear loading
● Lightweight – no cranes required
● Determinate volume – one cubic metre of matrix tank modules contain 950 litres of water, whereas stone fill will only provide 300 litres of storage per cubic metre.
Note:
It’s crucial that the soakaway crate kit are totally wrapped in the supplied non woven membrane, otherwise soil water and silt particles can enter the void space and consume capacity. Preferably, the bottom of the tank must be 500mm above the groundwater level. Otherwise, floor water relief measures must be put into place.

Would be easier if the dimensions height and width were the same. They differ by about 2cm. Otherwise good size easy to handle.

Kits need to cable tied together but the smaller size helped provide flexibility as had done 2 different soakaway sizes. Slightly longer cable ties would be my only request but all good otherwise. Really pleased.

These seem to be pretty good, I’ve never seen the crates before in person, so not an authority on this. But they are pretty solid, they don’t come flat packed. The fabric is very thick, the tape is ducktape type and some zip ties were included. It was all delivered on a pallet. They were more rectangular shaped than some other brands, so we had to dig our hole wider, but I’m happy with these.
