Drainage and groundworks in Bracknell
The Berkshire edge of our patch. Bracknell, Crowthorne, Sandhurst and Wokingham are all comfortably within reach, and the new town drainage there has its own character.
What we know about the drains in Bracknell
Bracknell was built out as a new town from the 1950s onwards, which means large areas of drainage installed at the same time to the same standard and now reaching the same age together. Concrete and clay runs of that era commonly show joint displacement and infiltration on camera.
New town estate layouts frequently put drainage runs across gardens and under garages rather than neatly along boundaries. Locating the run before an extension or a driveway goes in matters more here than almost anywhere else on our patch.
Bracknell Forest is a unitary authority, so it is both the planning authority and the highway authority. That makes the dropped kerb process different again from Hampshire's and Surrey's, and it is worth checking before you plan a driveway.
Surface water in Bracknell often runs to attenuation and balancing ponds rather than straight to a sewer, so a new hard surface may need attenuation designing in rather than a simple soakaway.
