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.
