Refer to Flood Risk Assessment dated March 2007, prepared by EPG Clear Limited,
Consider the use of soakaways.
‘Soakage tests taken on site give an infiltration rate of 2 x 10%
Building Regulations Approved Document H requires 5m clear distance from soakaways to
buildings and roads.
‘The poor infiltration rate, combined with space restrictions make the use of soakaways impractical.
This is confirmed by preliminary calculations that show conventional soakaways will not half empty
within 24 hours, and therefore do not comply with BRE digest 365.
Consider a surface water attenuation system.
As established in the FRA, restrict surface water discharge from the site, to 4.3 litres/second.
For the purpose of calculation assume average discharge is 3.0 Vs litres/second.
Paragraph 4.3.1] of the FRA states that the suggested “storage volumes are indicative only” and
“must be re-assessed once detailed proposals are developed”.
Measured Proposed impermeable area = 1420sq.m
Design new below ground storage volume to accommodate run-off from 1 in 30 year storm, with
additional storage for 1 in 100 year storm plus 30% for climate change.
Rainfall rate to suit 1 in 30 and 1 in 100 year storms to be calculated from ‘Design and analysis of
urban storm drainage - WALLINGFORD PROCEDURE ~ Volume 4, The Modified Rational
Method”
For the purpose of these calculations, take Volumetric run-off coefficient as 1.0Rainfall
