To keep things safe and sound, this cable is heading underground, nestled in a rigid duct, a minimum of 450mm deep—just as the Regulation 522.8.10 of BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 says we should.
Soak Away Installation in Progress! 💧
We're putting in some serious sustainability with these Polystorm-R Modular Cell Crates, made with 90% recycled materials! These clever crates store rainwater runoff from the property, which is being funnelled through drainage pipes from the gutters and into the soak away.
Each unit is a solid 1m x 1m module with a compressive strength of 61 tonnes/m², and we’ve stacked 20 of them to create the perfect soaking system. The crates are buried a solid 500mm underground to keep things neat, and they’re wrapped in a Geotextile Highly Permeable Fabric, which allows water to filter through while keeping dirt and soil out.
This is how we build smart, eco-friendly solutions that last!
