I am planning to change my front drive and there is a soakaway smack bang in the middle of the new proposed drive. most people say not a problem just cap off the soakaway with a slab of concrete - my question is what does 'capping off' mean and how thick should the slab be ? any advice much appreciated since i dont want my new drive to sink in the middle !

covering the soakaway with concrete on top of some damp proof membrane,this way it will stop your drive sinking and also stop the soakaway getting filled with rubbish
