Soakaway Shafts – Reliable Solutions for Rainwater Infiltration
GreenLife soakaway shafts, available in capacities ranging from 160 to 2,000 litres, provide an effective solution for the temporary retention and controlled infiltration of rainwater. Manufactured from durable polyethylene (PE), these systems are robust, low-maintenance, and equipped with an integrated coarse debris filter basket to help ensure long-term performance.
A walkable plastic cover is included as standard, while larger models (from 950 litres upwards) can be upgraded with accessories to support passenger vehicle or even truck traffic. This makes them suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial, and public drainage applications.
For optimal results, installation should be tailored to local soil conditions. A soil assessment or percolation test is recommended to ensure efficient infiltration and reliable long-term operation.
Soakaway 140 l
includes plastic cover includes coarse debris filter basket without KG pipe and without KG fitting You will need approx. 10 m² of geotextile for the installation of this infiltration chamber The 140-liter infiltration shaft is suitable for the retention, infiltration, and drainage of rainwater. The inlet to the infiltration shaft is equipped with a DN 100 rubber lip seal. The incoming rainwater is filtered through a coarse debris filter basket suspended inside the shaft. The infiltration shaft is easy to maintain, inspect, and clean. Local soil conditions are critical for the correct design of an infiltration system and must be verified via a soil survey or an infiltration test. The design of the infiltration system must be adjusted based on the soil’s actual infiltration capacity—please read the installation instructions and the instructions for the infiltration test very carefully. The 950 L, 1,000 L, and 2,000 L infiltration shafts can also be made accessible to cars and trucks with optional accessories.
