Soakaway Crate for Reliable Rainwater Control
The 1000mm x 500mm x 400mm soakaway crate is designed to manage rainwater safely and efficiently. It helps reduce standing water, supports SuDS guidelines, and improves drainage performance across domestic and commercial projects. Because it is lightweight and easy to install, it suits both new builds and upgrades.
Benefits of This Modular Soakaway Crate
This modular crate provides a large internal void that stores excess water during heavy rainfall. It then releases the water gradually into the surrounding soil. As a result, it protects gardens, extensions, driveways, and landscaped areas from surface flooding. The unit also works well in SuDS-compliant systems, offering flexible configuration options for larger installations.
Lightweight Design and Quick Installation
The crate is simple to handle, which speeds up installation on site. It works with standard 110mm pipe connections and fits neatly into most underground drainage layouts. When wrapped in a suitable geotextile membrane, it remains clear of soil, silt, and debris. This helps maintain long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Durable and Built for Long-Term Use
The structure is engineered to withstand soil pressure and ongoing environmental conditions. Therefore, it remains stable for many years once installed. Its strong design helps prevent system failure during intense rainfall, giving property owners confidence in their drainage system.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Projects
This crate can be used in garden drainage, driveway builds, patio projects, and commercial landscapes. It provides dependable underground water management and reduces the risk of standing water around the property. The modular nature of the crate makes it suitable for both small and large system builds.
