ProductsPVC Slotted Soakwells
PVC slotted soakwells are lightweight, corrosion-free drainage chambers that allow stormwater to disperse into surrounding soil, reducing pressure on stormwater networks and helping sites meet council drainage requirements. Manufactured from durable PVC with slotted perforations, they resist the corrosion and collapse issues associated with older concrete or corrugated-steel soakwells.
Corrosion-resistant
It won’t rust or degrade like steel soakwell systems
Lightweight
Easier and safer to install than concrete alternatives, with less plant required
Slotted Design
Engineered perforation pattern promotes even water infiltration into surrounding soil
Made to Size
Manufactured to suit the diameter and depth your civil or stormwater design requires
Durable In-ground Performance
Built to withstand ground pressure and moisture exposure long-term
Fast installation
Reduces trenching and installation time on subdivision and residential sites
What is a PVC slotted soakwell used for
A PVC slotted soakwell is an in-ground drainage chamber that collects stormwater runoff and allows it to soak away into the surrounding soil, reducing load on council stormwater infrastructure.
Are PVC soakwells better than concrete soakwells?
PVC soakwells are lighter to handle and install, resist corrosion, and don’t crack or degrade the way concrete rings can over time, making them a lower-maintenance long-term drainage solution.
What sizes do PVC slotted soakwells come in?
PVC slotted soakwells are manufactured to the diameter and depth specified by your civil or stormwater engineer, rather than a single fixed size.
Do PVC soakwells meet council stormwater requirements?
PVC slotted soakwells are commonly used to meet on-site stormwater detention and infiltration requirements set by local councils; specific compliance depends on your council’s stormwater management guidelines, so we recommend confirming sizing with your civil engineer.
