Why Infiltration Testing is essential in Birmingham

Most planning authorities in Birmingham require infiltration testing to BRE 365 standards before approving drainage strategies. This proves whether soakaways or other infiltration systems are viable, which is a critical step in meeting SuDS requirements.

Birmingham developments often face unique drainage challenges due to local soil types, groundwater levels, and urban density. Accurate infiltration results help engineers design effective, compliant systems and avoid costly redesigns later in the process.

We conduct on-site testing with professional equipment, record detailed data, and deliver clear, planner-friendly reports. Where infiltration is not feasible, our evidence supports alternative discharge consents.
