Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (SHC)
In areas where offsite stormwater disposal is not permitted, onsite solutions become essential. A Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (SHC) test evaluates the soil’s ability and rate it absorb water, providing crucial data for the design engineer to appropriately size the proposed system according to the site’s specific requirements.
By offering these specialised assessments, we ensure that your stormwater management systems are designed with precision and efficiency, tailored to the unique characteristics of your site while adhering to regulatory standards and environmental considerations.
