To size a stormwater attenuation or soakaway tank, we need specific information. It’s not just about the volume needed; the dimensions are crucial. Length, width, and height are the key factors to determine the appropriate base plates, end plates, and ventilation services required. Providing a drainage drawing is the best option as it gives us a comprehensive understanding of the project. It allows us to calculate the necessary components and provide an accurate price.
Additionally, knowing the location of the tank is important. Whether it will be situated under a park, green space, driveways with light car loading, or more heavily trafficked areas like roads or car parks, helps us design the right plate system to meet your requirements.
If a drainage drawing is not available, providing the length, width, and height of the tank is crucial. This information allows us to propose a suitable solution based on the available space. However, if more detailed calculations are required, we may request additional information during the order stage.
In summary, the dimensions of the tank, along with the location and a drainage drawing if possible, are the key pieces of information we need to properly size and propose an appropriate stormwater attenuation or soakaway tank.
