Excess surface water runoff is a growing concern, leading to flooding, overloaded drainage infrastructure, and environmental damage. Traditional drainage systems often struggle to cope with intense rainfall and can contribute to the depletion of vital groundwater resources.
At ViaCon, we believe in a more sustainable approach. Soakaway systems offer an effective and environmentally responsible way to manage stormwater at its source, mimicking natural processes to reduce flood risk and replenish groundwater. Whether you’re planning a smaller project or a large-scale commercial development, ViaCon provides a comprehensive range of soakaway solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Soakaway systems are subsurface structures designed to efficiently disperse surface water into the surrounding soil. Unlike traditional drainage, which channels water away, soakaways allow water to infiltrate naturally, mimicking the natural water cycle. This approach offers a multitude of benefits:
By capturing and slowly releasing stormwater, soakaways significantly reduce the volume of surface water runoff, minimising the risk of localised flooding.
Soakaways replenish groundwater reserves, contributing to a healthier water cycle and supporting local ecosystems. This is particularly important in areas facing water scarcity.
Soakaways are a key component of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), aligning with modern drainage regulations and promoting environmentally responsible water management.
By managing stormwater on-site, soakaways lessen the burden on public sewer systems, preventing overflows and reducing the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
The natural filtration process within a soakaway helps to remove pollutants from stormwater before it reaches groundwater, protecting water quality.

They are stronger and wider than SuperCor®, Hamco MP200plus®. As opposed to CON/SPAN, they are made of steel and not concrete so they are more ecological and 30-40% more cost-efficient. And unlike Acrow® 700XS®, they are applicable for buried solutions but take a bit longer to install.
Our Soakaway Solutions
At ViaCon, we go beyond product supply – we partner with you to develop sustainable and effective stormwater management solutions. Our offerings combine high-quality products, expert design services, and ongoing support to ensure the success of your projects. Our core offering includes our range of perforated pipe soakaway systems.
Our soakaway systems are modular and engineered for maximum performance and flexibility. These high-strength, lightweight solutions provide a range of advantages:
The system’s modular nature allows for easy connection of pipes to create soakaways of any size or layout, tailored to the specific capacity and spatial requirements of your project.
The perforated design maximises water infiltration into the surrounding soil while maintaining a compact footprint, ensuring efficient stormwater management.
Constructed from perforated corrugated galvanised steel, these systems are engineered for durability, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions for years of reliable service.
The lightweight nature of the pipes makes them easy to handle and install, reducing both labour costs and project timelines.
Our perforated pipe soakaway systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential developments, commercial properties, industrial sites, and infrastructure projects.
Designed to manage significant loads, including vehicular traffic where appropriate, ensuring robust performance under various conditions.
Have an idea or a project, lets collaborate!
We provide both non-woven and woven geotextiles, essential for filtration and separation within the soakaway system. Non-woven geotextiles are typically used to prevent soil migration into the soakaway structure, ensuring long-term performance. Woven geotextiles can provide additional reinforcement if required.
Our commitment extends beyond products. We offer comprehensive design and support services, including:
With more than 35 years of civil engineering experience, we provide specialized, world-class Bridges & Culverts Solutions and products that are strong and durable, cost-efficient, and sustainable.
Our solutions range from soil reinforcement to landfills and much more. We offer a diverse range of solutions and products involving geosynthetics, geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, etc.
With our proven technical and engineering expertise, ViaCon’s StormWater Solutions and products are designed to meet the challenges of stormwater management.
ViaCon constructs connections. Consciously.
We combine more than three decades of experience with today's cutting-edge technology and vital sustainable goals. ViaCon is a pioneer in the field of Bridges & Culverts-, GeoTechnical- and StormWater Solutions.
