S.No.CheckpointIS RequirementStatus
A. CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION
A1Manhole pit excavated to design depth and diameter (typical 1.0-1.2m internal diameter)
Acceptance: Internal diameter ≥1.0m, depth to invert per design, bottom firm
Cl. 5.1 — Pit dimensions
A2RCC slab or brick lining constructed; circular/rectangular shape as per design
Acceptance: RCC 150mm thick or brick 230mm, inside smooth, no cracks, watertight seal
Cl. 5.2 — Lining material
A3Chamber properly waterproofed; joints sealed, no seepage when water level rises
Acceptance: Internal surface sealed with bitumen/cement slurry, no water weeping after curing
Cl. 5.3 — Waterproofing
B. PIPE CONNECTIONS
B1Incoming and outgoing pipes at correct invert levels with proper drop (min. 50mm at bends)
Acceptance: Invert drop measured, drop ≥50mm at junction, allows gravity flow
Cl. 6.1 — Invert level
B2Benching provided: sloped concrete floor guiding flow from inlet to outlet (1:4 slope typical)
Acceptance: Bench slope 1:4, smooth concrete surface, no pooling of water at inlet
Cl. 6.2 — Benching
B3Pipe entries sealed with mortar at junction with chamber wall (no gaps around spigot)
Acceptance: Mortar joint 1:2 cement:sand, completely filled around pipe, no visible gaps
Cl. 6.3 — Pipe sealing
C. STEPS & ACCESS
C1Step irons or cast iron steps embedded in wall at 300mm intervals for ladder access
Acceptance: Steps at 300mm intervals, secure, non-slippery surface, load-tested 100kg
Cl. 7.1 — Step irons
C2Top access opening has frame and cover (cast iron grating typical), not less than 0.6m × 0.6m clear opening
Acceptance: Clear opening ≥0.6m × 0.6m, cover fits snugly, removable for inspection
Cl. 7.2 — Access opening
