A new easily installed surface water drainage system engineered especially for sandy soils is being introduced by Reln.

The Soakwell Rapid Flow features a strong but light plastic lid which replaces conventional concrete slab covers weighing 30 kg or more.

The custom-moulded lid — manufactured in high-strength reinforced polymer — clicks securely into position without any heavy work.

The product incorporates a corrugated beehive shape and is designed to withstand ground pressure.

It has angled drainage slots to provide maximum water flow to surrounding soil and to prevent soil entering the Soakwell base.

The system also features a geo-textile sock enclosing the lid and base to prevent sand entry and clogging.
