I have a Well soakaway (to pump water into before it runs clear and could be pumped into the loft tanks - all now redundant) and a soakaway that takes the septic tank output before (presumably) passing it to the leach field. Both are brick, just over 4 feet diameter and both need the covers sorting out in a way that gets them flush with the lawn and have a standard access hatch. I've investigated prefab concrete rings but these are expensive, heavy to transport and would be unsightly. My only other thought is to try to set-up something (concrete lintels?) across the soakaways, a couple of feet below ground level, to support paving slabs and a cover, then to pour concrete in situ to complete the pad. Comments and counter suggestions are very welcome ...
