Percolation Tests & Soakaways
Is the ground at the site suitable for soakaways or septic tanks? Thats what we intend to find out for you by carrying out percolation and soakaway tests. A Percolation Test measures how quickly water drains away from the ground. Different types of soils will have different rates of absorption, for example fine sandy soil will drain much quicker than thick clay soil. The results if the test will determine the size of the soaraway or even if it is suitable to have one at the site. Our expert engineers will be able to collate and provide you with all the information from the test.
Ground Water Monitoring
Groundwater monitoring is important to ensure that the groundwater levels on a site are recognised so that difficulties and possible increased costs can be identified. It also allows correct piling techniques to be chosen and calculated allowable working loads.
Groundwater levels are measured and samples recovered for laboratory analysis.
