Black magic. Sorcery. Witch craft. Soakaways aren't magical but they are innovative; not sure how they work? This article has all you need to know about soakaway crates.
Specially Designed Flood Management System
As geocellular crates, RAINBOX® systems act as an underground reservoir to collect water through drainage systems, from storms and persistent rain, to prevent flooding.
In areas of development, this function helps to counteract the loss of permeable ground that would have originally soaked up the rainwater naturally. The collected water is then dispersed in one of two ways, depending on whether the crates are installed in an attenuation system or a soakaway system.
Attenuation & Soakaway Crates
Attenuation
In an attenuation scheme water is stored within the system, and with flow controls, is slowly released back into a watercourse or sewer system.
Soakaway
In soakaway schemes the system is wrapped with a permeable membrane. Water is collected and slowly soaks back in to the ground through an infiltration process.
