Foul Drainage to soakaway, I found this old technical paper with a 'new' idea.

[saveasteading]

Only for drainage nerds.

I came across this paper , aimed at churches. The point is that churches don't produce much waste, so why put in a complex system?

 

It is also admirably charming in its style , I think, and hence accessible. More technical papers should be like this.

(people don't like to poo in church toilets)

 

Anyway, the 'Trench Arch' method is the point of interest and might be applied to any small use drain.....an outbuilding for example. Very cheap to build, and zero maintenance.
