Hi to all, ive got to put some drainage grills in a drive but have little room to put the soakaway. Can this be constructed in the actual drive or does it have to be ran in to a garden, I myself would say you cant but the guy doesnt want me to ruin his flowers. sorry for daft quesion

Aslong as it is 5m away from the building and in sub soil that will drain then the soakaway in the driveway will be fine. What are you proposing to construct the soakaway with? Wavin crates?

There are several ways in which a soakaway can be created beneath a trafficked pavement, BUT each projects requires individual design to take account of the ground conditions.
