Adam2 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 So, have agreed the idea for my soakaway with BC and planning the step by step works. When looking at pipe I noticed the option to use perforated pipe . My ground is well draining (mainly sandstone), the soakaway will be about 50m and approx 5m lower level from the house so I was wondering if using perforated pipe (installed 450mm bgl) would be sensible. In a sloping site I'm guessing that the losses via perforations will be pretty minimal so probably no real advantage. Is this more usually used for fairly level sites where the losses via the holes would be greater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbish Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 My understanding perforated pipe is used for collecting water a la french drain stylee, where it is then sent to a soakaway. Although it is used in leach fields to distribute waste water post septic tank/treatment plant but I dont think this is what you are building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
