Tubosider’s soakaways are fabricated from perforated corrugated galvanised pipe produced from pre-galvanised steel coil, similar to Helibore pipe. The % perforation of a pipe is varied according to the desired outflow rate.

Unlike some forms of soakaway, Tubosider systems are always fully accessible for inspection and maintenance.

Manufacturing perforated pipe in diameters from 0.3m to 3.6m to fit any situation, Tubosider can produce pipe systems or vertical rings or a combination of the two. We can also provide a full design and detailing service, consistent with SUDS, using the latest software.

Several key criteria determine the suitability and performance of an infiltration system. Briefly, these are

• the capacity of the soil to infiltrate water - the “infiltration coefficient”
• existing or historic groundwater levels - should be at least 1m below the invert of the intended soakaway
• the plan area available for siting of the soakaway unit
