    MANHOLES

    Manholes provide access to sewer pipelines for maintenance and inspection. They are located over pipe centerlines when there is a change in diameter, slope, or direction of the pipeline, at all pipe intersections, at the end of each lateral, and at intervals no more than 150 meters. Depressed sewers, also called inverted siphons, carry gravity flow under obstacles along the pipeline route. Crown corrosion occurs when sulfuric acid reacts with and weakens concrete in sewer pipes.

    MANHOLES

    - structures that provide


    access to the sewer pipeline
    for cleaning, repair, sampling,
    and flow measurement.
    Typical manhole
    Manholes are located over the pipe
    centerline under the ff circumstances:

     When there is a change in pipeline diameter


     When there is a change in pipeline slope
     When there is a change in pipeline direction
     At all pipe intersection
     At the uppermost end of each lateral
     At intervals not exceeding about 150m(400 ft)
    Sewer Crossings
    When built below ground, the
    section of sewer that goes under
    the stream or road is called an
    inverted siphon, or more
    accurately, a depressed sewer.
    A depressed sewer, or inverted siphon
    is constructed to carry the gravity flow
    under an obstacle along the pipeline
    route.
    Depth and Velocity Limitations
    A minimum cover of 2m (6 ft) above
    the crown of the sewer pipe is
    maintained.
     Full flow velocity or Minimum self-
    cleansing velocity is not less than
    about 0.6 m/s (2 ft/s)
     Upper limit of full flow velocity is
    usually about 3 m/s (10 ft/s)
    Crown Corrosion
    It occurs when the sulfuric acid
    reacts with and weakens the
    concrete
    1-3. Enumerate circumstances where
    manholes are located over the pipe
    centerline.
    4.What do you call the section of the
    sewer that goes under the stream or
    road?
