I have a very steep concrete driveway which I want to widen. The driveway slopes towards the highway. I propose putting a drainage channel across the entrance to the drive and draining to a soakaway.

Can the soakaway be under the driveway? If so could it be adjacent/under the drainage channel and be a long narrow strip type soakaway? Are there any products on the market which incorporate a drainage channel sat directly over a soakaway?

The Permavoid system from Charcon might be what you need - see this page
