A. Manhole Sections: Reinforced precast concrete.

1. 30 MPa concrete reinforced for H20-16 loading or greater in accordance with ASTM
C478 with self-sealing butyl gaskets in accordance with ASTM C923.
2. Construct manholes of precast concrete sections as required by Drawings to size, shape,
and depth indicated
B. Mortar and Grout

1. Grouting material for use in grouting anchor bolts, flanges, dowels and other
miscellaneous items in concrete shall be a non-metallic, non-shrink grout which when
mixed with water, will harden rapidly to produce a permanent anchoring bond. It shall be
free of any corrosion promoting agents.
C. Reinforcement: Grade 60 deformed steel rebars with galvanized finish. Reinforcing shall con-
form to the latest revised edition of the AISC code.

2.2 COMPONENTS

A. Lid and Frame: Per details shown on plans or approved equal.

B. Manhole Steps: Cast iron Campbell Foundry Company Pattern or approved equal.

C. Base Pad: 24 MPa precast reinforced concrete or Cast-in-place concrete.

2.3 CONFIGURATION

A. Shaft Construction: Concentric with eccentric cone top section; lipped male/female dry joints;
sleeve to receive pipe sections.

B. Shape: Cylindrical.

C. Clear Inside Dimensions: 1.2m diameter or as indicated on plans.

D. Design Depth: As indicated on plans.

E. Clear Lid Opening: 0.6m diameter minimum.

F. Pipe Entry: Provide openings as indicated

G. Main and Lateral Pipes: Neatly cut off main and lateral pipes flush with inside of manhole or
inlet where they enter structure walls, and point up irregularities and rough edges with nonshrink
grout.

H. Inverts: Shape inverts for smooth flow across structure floor as shown on Drawings. Use
concrete and mortar to obtain proper grade and contour and finish surface with fine textured
wood float. Provide benches in all sanitary sewer manholes.

A. Verify items provided by other sections of work are properly sized and located.

B. Verify that built-in items are in proper location, and ready for roughing into Work.

C. Verify excavation for manholes is to the correct depth and that the bottom is hard and smooth.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Set all lines, elevations, and grades for utility and drainage system work and maintain for the
duration of work. Provide careful maintenance of bench marks, property corners, monuments,
or other reference points.

B. Protect and maintain in operating condition, existing utilities encountered during utility
installation. Repair any damage to surface or subsurface improvements shown on the
drawings.

C. Verify location, size, elevation, and other pertinent data required to make connections with
existing sewer systems indicated on the Drawings.

D. Coordinate structure placement with inlet and outlet pipe or duct sleeve locations and inverts
required by other sections.

E. Coordinate all building utility connection locations and elevations with architectural plans.
Contractor shall comply with all local codes and regulations.

F. Install dewatering systems that will be required to construct the proposed utilities to the design
elevations and using the methods described herein. Water pumped out of excavations shall be
disposed of on-site for sedimentation removal, and will not be discharged directly to the City's
storm drainage system.

G. Subgrade areas identified by the Engineer as not being capable of supporting the proposed
structure shall be excavated to suitable material or a maximum of two additional feet, backfill
with bedding material and compact as specified. This item shall be paid for on a unit price
basis.

3.3 PLACING MANHOLE SECTIONS

A. Place granular base pad and trowel top surface level for cast-in-place bases.

B. Place manhole sections plumb and level, trim to correct elevations, anchor to base pad.

1. After completion of excavation, setting of reinforcing steel and placing inlet and outlet
pipes, but prior to placing concrete for invert slab, set precast concrete blocks on slab
foundation to support first manhole barrel which shall be lowered into excavation,
grooved end first, and set on concrete blocks. Align and adjust to proper grade prior to
placing invert slab, which shall be poured immediately after setting of first section of
manhole barrel.
2. Prior to setting subsequent manhole barrel sections, apply primer to tongue and groove
ends and allow to set in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Place gasket
on tongue end. Lower next section into position, and remove excess material from interior
of structure. Add additional primer on exterior of joint, if necessary, for completely
watertight joint.

3. Castings belonging to reset or converted structures shall be salvaged and reused, if

possible.
4. Set cover frames and covers securely to correct line and grade elevations.
5. Grout base of shaft sections to achieve slope to exit piping. Trowel smooth. Contour as
required.
6. Coordinate with other sections of work to provide correct size, shape, and location.
