The width of manhole chamber on bends <strong>and</strong> junction ofpipes with diameter greater than 450mm should be suitably increased to900mm or more so that benching width on either side of the channel at-least200mm.14.5 Circular manholes -14.5.1 Circular manholes are longer than rectangular <strong>and</strong> arch type manhole <strong>and</strong> thusthey are preferred over rectangular as well as arch type manholes. The circularmanholes can be provided for all depths starting from 0.9m circular manholesare straight down in lower portion <strong>and</strong> slanting in top portion so as to narrowdown the top opening equal to internal dia. of manhole over.14.5.2 Depending upon the depth of manhole, the diameter of manhole changes. Theinternal diameter of circular manholes may be kept as following for verifyingdepths.14.5.2.1 For depths 0.9m <strong>and</strong> up to 1.65mm, 900mm diameter.14.5.2.2 For depths above 1.65m <strong>and</strong> up to 2.30m, 1200mm diameter.14.9.2.3 For depths above 2.30m <strong>and</strong> up to 9.0m, 1500mm diameter.14.5.2.4 For depths above 9.0m <strong>and</strong> up to 14.0m, 1800mm diameter.(See drawings at the ends of the specification.)14.5.3 If the sewer is constructed in a tunnel, the manhole should be located at theaccess or working shaft <strong>and</strong> the manhole chamber maybe constructed of a sizeto suit the working shaft or vice-versa.14.5.3.1 The width/diameter of the manhole should not be less than internal diameter ofthe sewer +150mm benching at both sides (150mm + 150mm) The opening forentry into the manhole (without cover) should be such minimum diameters asto allow a workman with the cleaning equipments into the interior of themanhole without difficulty. A minimum clear opening of 60cm preferably circularis recommended. Suitable steps usually cast iron shall be provided for entry.14.5.3.2 Access shaft for large sewers - Access shaft shall be circular in shape <strong>and</strong>shall have a minimum internal dia of 750mm, where the depth of the shaftexceeds 3m suitable dimensions shall be provided to facilitate cleaning <strong>and</strong>maintenance.14.5.3.3 Access shaft where built of brick work should be carvel led on three sides toreduce it to the size of the opening in the cover frame <strong>and</strong> to provide easyaccess on the fourth side iron step or ladder .In determining sizes thedimensions of the maintenance equipments likely to be used in sewer, shall bekept in mind.Urban Administration & Development Department Page 163
