There are a few variations to these, such as sand trenches and deep trenches. Conventional soakage trenches are not so commonly used and depend on council regulations as to their use. If you’re unsure, then get in touch with us early on in your project and we can help you.
Raised mounds are ideal if there is an elevated water table or a flood prone area, where it is necessary to lift the height of the discharge.
Since these require resource consent and aren’t a permitted activity under any council in New Zealand, boreholes are only used on small sites with very limited options for discharge.
We're here to help, get in touch with us to Get a Free Site Assessment as early into your project as you can, and we can recommend the best land application system for your site or property.
