APPENDIX III
SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SEWER MANHOLES
1. General Requirements
All manholes on one project shall be constructed of the same
materials . All concrete work shall be in accordance with the
applicable sections of these specifications .
Sealing around all pipes entering manholes shall be done
with a quick setting non-shrinking grout .
Height control rings may be used to adjust manhole tops to
proper grade; however, a maximum of twelve (12) inches total
of height control rings will be permitted.
2. Frames & Covers
(a) Materials
Manhole frames and covers shall be heavy duty, traffic
resistant, gray cast iron. Frame and cover castings shall
conform to the details and dimensions shown in these
specifications and shall be true to pattern in form and
dimensions, free from pouring faults, sponginess, cracks,
blow-holes and other defects in positions affecting their
strength and value for the use intended. They shall be
boldly filleted on angles and the arises shall be sharp and
perfect . They shall be sand blasted or otherwise cleaned or
scaled so as to present a smooth, clean, and uniform
surface.
Standard and watertight manhole covers shall have no pick
holes . The marking "Sewer" must be cast in their body.
Watertight manhole covers provided with bolts and gaskets
shall be required in all low lying areas subject to flooding
and as required by the City. Three (3) 5/8" anchor bolts
shall be placed in the cone section to secure the manhole
frame to the concrete on watertight cones .
(b) Frame & Cover Installations
Manhole frame and cover castings shall be installed so that
the cover shall be exposed and flush with the existing
street surface. In no case shall the existing pavement
surface be raised or lowered to meet the grade of installed
manhole frame and cover castings . If street surfaces are
STS - 2
renewed or replaced by the developer or owner after the
sewer system has been approved and accepted by the City, but
while such streets are still the obligation of the developer
or owner, the manhole frames and covers therein shall be
readjusted to proper location relative to new street
surfacing by the original developer or owner. Where frames
and covers are located in off-street areas, they shall be
placed flush with the finished grade. Where manholes are
installed in sloped areas the finished grade of the slope
shall intersect the top rim of the frame and cover on the
uphill side.
The manhole frame shall be sealed to the concrete manhole
section using a bed of mortar on either side of a butyl
rubber sealant. The frame and cover shall be mortared to the
outside of the concrete manhole section.
3. Pre-Cast Concrete Manholes
Pre-cast concrete manholes shall conform to the following
specifications :
(a) General Information
Manholes shall be constructed of pre-cast reinforced
concrete manhole sections conforming to ASTM designation C-
478-80, or current revision. Manholes will be required to
have a flexible boot connection at the pipe entry to prevent
infiltration. The flexible boot connections shall be cast in
the manhole section such as the flexible manhole sleeve.
The minimum inside diameter of the manhole shall be 48-
inches .
The uppermost section of the manhole shall be tapered
eccentrically and shall be a minimum of three (3) feet in
height . Where field conditions dictate "flat top" manhole
sections can be utilized with the approval of the City. The
height of the lower section shall be at least three (3)
times the inside diameter of the largest sewer pipe entering
the section and in no case less than two (2) feet.
(b) Concrete
The walls of the manholes shall have a minimum thickness of
five (5) inches and shall be constructed of reinforced
concrete with a compressive strength of 3, 000 psi at 28
days . If the manhole bottom is not monolithically molded
STS - 3
with the walls, a concrete floor slab shall be provided with
a minimum thickness of twelve (12) inches and a minimum
outside diameter of five feet, ten inches . The concrete
shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3 , 000 psi at 28
days . The manhole base slab, if cast in place as opposed to
being furnished as a monolithic component of the precast
manhole section, shall be reinforced with Style 6x6 - W5 . 5
welded wire fabric or equivalent area of reinforcing steel .
The base slab, if cast in place, shall be poured so as to
ensure a watertight seal at the joint formed by the base
slab and riser section.
(c) Joints
The joints between manhole sections shall be tongue and
groove with an "0" ring rubber gasket or "STEP" section with
sliding flap seal ring conforming to ASTM designation C-443-
79 or latest revision. Jointing of the pre-cast manhole
sections shall conform to the manufacturer' s published
recommendations and specifications . A flexible joint sealant
may be required between pre-cast manhole sections .
(d) Steps
Manhole steps shall be designed for installation in a
sanitary sewer and shall be steel encapsulated in corrosion
resistant rubber in accordance with OSHA standards and ASTM
C-478-80 or current revision. Manhole steps shall be a
minimum of ten (10) inches wide and shall project no less
than five (5) nor more than seven (7) inches from the wall .
Vertical spacing of manhole steps shall be uniform with a
maximum of sixteen (16) inches and a minimum of twelve (12)
inches .
(e) Inverts
All flow lines shall be constructed through manholes to a
minimum of three-fourths (3/4) the depth of the contributing
sewer. Inverts shall be true to line and grade with flow
lines having a minimum drop of . 1 feet and a maximum drop of
1 foot from inlet to outlet . Sides of flow lines shall be
built up with low slump concrete or with masonry and
plastered with mortar to provide a smooth channel and
prevent solids deposition. Manhole benches shall be sloped
to drain to flow lines .
4. Connection to Existing Manholes
STS - 4
Whenever connections are to be made to an existing manhole,
care shall be taken to prevent debris from entering the
sewer line. Flow into existing manholes will not be
permitted until all "upstream" sewer lines have been tested,
approved and thoroughly cleaned of all debris .
Pipe connections to existing manholes shall be made with
flexible boot connections . Existing manholes not provided
with flexible boot connections already cast in place, shall
be field cored and have boots installed.
5. Manhole Testing
(a) General
Manholes shall be tested by exfiltration or vacuum. Where
water exfiltration tests are performed on the sewer line,
the manholes may be included in these tests in lieu of the
independent manhole testing procedures outlined below.
(b) Exfiltration
If the water exfiltration test is to be used, the manholes
shall be filled with water to the top, by the contractor,
unless otherwise directed by the City. Inflatable stoppers
shall be used to plug all lines into and out of the manhole
being tested. The stoppers shall be positioned in the lines
far enough from the manhole to assure testing of those
portions of the lines not otherwise tested. Once the manhole
has been filled with water to the top, a twelve (12) hour
soak shall be required prior to testing. Leakage during a
one-hour test shall not exceed one half gallon.
(c) Vacuum Testing
Manholes may be tested by vacuum testing only if constructed
of precast concrete. Testing shall include the joint between
the concrete cone section and the manhole frame, unless
otherwise directed by the City. Stub-outs, boots, and pipe
plugs shall be secured to prevent movement while the vacuum
is being drawn.
Installation and operation of vacuum equipment and
indicating devices shall be in accordance with equipment
specifications for which performance information has been
provided by the manufacturer and approved by the VDH.
