In pipe sewer sufficient bedding of concrete should be placed and<br />

walls should be constructed of the standard thickness on the<br />

foundation upto the top of <strong>road</strong> level as per standard design of<br />

circular manholes. In ovoid sewer walls should be constructed upto<br />

the top of the arch and concrete beams should be provided above<br />

the ovoid sewer in a rectangular shape, so that the weight of<br />

masonry above does not fall on the arch of ovoid sewer, and walls<br />

should be constructed upto <strong>road</strong> level as per standard design of a<br />

rectangular manhole (including steps). After all, the plaster work is<br />

done and frame and covers are fixed above usual 0.30 M (1.’0”)<br />

thick concrete block. The top of the pipe or the ovoid sewer should<br />

be broken. This should be done by person standing top of the <strong>road</strong><br />

level, by using long crow bars by heavy weight fixed at the bottom or<br />

by some other mechanical device. As getting inside the manhole<br />

and breaking with sledge hammer or chisel may cause sudden raise<br />

in level of water or poisonous gas may com out suddenly and may<br />

endanger the lift of the workman.<br />

After sufficiently big manhole is made in the arch of pipe, four<br />

manholes should be kept open in the stretch where manhole is to be<br />

constructed, two on upstream side and two on downstream side.<br />

The manhole covers should be kept open for an hour and tests are<br />

carried out viz. Davy’s safety lamp, lead acetate paper test and<br />

candle test. After the tests are successful another workman should<br />

get down in the newly constructed manhole preferably when the<br />

channel condition is seen on the manhole upstream or downstream<br />

side. He should apply coconut oil all over body and after tying rope<br />

around his waist and the other end held by another workman at the
