Project Job Ref.: Incoming Invert

This document provides calculations for the design of a rectangular pit soakaway. It includes calculations of the soil infiltration rate based on trial pit testing. Dimensions of a proposed 2000mm by 1500mm by 1500mm soakaway are provided along with calculations of rainfall inflows, outflows from the soakaway, and required storage volumes for different storm durations up to 24 hours. The results indicate the proposed soakaway provides adequate storage volume and discharge time.
