Mike_scotland Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Hi People We have secured our plot on the basis we get a survey done for foundations and drainage to our full satisfaction - has anyone had this done before and can recommend anyone in east of Scotland way and also how deep do they dig down im expecting 1-2 meters? i am thinking of hiring a digger/driver for the day to get the holes dug and then let the engineer guy in to take a look. We are after a foundation ground survey and a percolation test to make sure we can have a soakway. thanks in advance. - any advice welcome Mike Edited September 26, 2019 by Mike_scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book them for the same day and you might be able to use the digger to fill the hole in after. The percolation test can take up to 24 hours if the soil isn't free draining and may need three holes. Plenty of sites with guidance.. http://suds-solutions.co.uk/percolation-tests/?gclid=Cj0KCQjww7HsBRDkARIsAARsIT7lTZKG8g7kZufjkhGDqfYBQ3ynNmExhNGbkmxnfjtaX7PqvZjMVW8aAjaCEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
