conform to the requirements <strong>of</strong> “Pre-cast Reinforced Concrete Manhole <strong>Section</strong>,” ASTM C478.<br />
Joints for pre-cast manhole sections shall conform to the requirements <strong>of</strong> “Joints for Circular<br />

The completed barrel shall contain a minimum number <strong>of</strong> sections.<br />
15.4 Pre-cast Cones - The conical top section shall be a minimum <strong>of</strong> 32-inches in height and<br />
