Soakaway capacity check

Soakaway location - England/Wales

Area draining to soakaway A = 100 m2
Invert to soakaway = 1m
Soakaway type - Concrete ring
Length of pit L = 3.5 m
Internal diameter of rings D = 3m
i
External diameter of rings D = 3.2 m
x
Effective storage depth D = 2.8 m
e
Soil infiltration rate f = 0.000033 m/s
Rainfall ratio r = 0.25
Permeability of fill P = 30 %
er
Rainfall return period = 1 in 100 year
Impact of climatic change - Yes
Percentage increase in rainfall = 30 %

Check calculations to BRE Digest 365 (February 2016)

Effective outflow area a = 0.5*((2*B*D )+(2*L*D ))

s50 e e
= 0.5*((2*3.5*2.8)+(2*3.5*2.8))
= 19.6 m2
Free volume in rings V = D 2*PI*D /4
fr i e
= (3)2*3.14*2.8/4
= 19.79 m3
Volume in granular fill V = P *((L*B*D )-(D 2*PI*D /4))/100
gf er e x e
= 30*((3.5*3.5*2.8)-((3.2)2*3.14*2.8/4))/100
= 3.53 m3
Storage volume V = V +V
s fr gf
= 19.79+3.53
= 23.33 m3
Time of emptying half storage volume
t = V *0.5/(a *f*60*60)
s50 s s50
= 23.33*0.5/(19.6*0.000033*60*60)
= 5.0 hrs.
