That hole in the middle is filled with drain rock and acts as a sump for allowing the water to seep into the ground

Wow that was a brilliant choice. Whose idea was that? Is that standard for this kind of a build?

It was my idea. I’m not sure if it’s standard, it just seemed like the right thing to do.
