manhole inverts are calculated as follows inverts are on the plans it will usually have a letter or number ie)mh 1 or manhole a then it will have a rim elevation
then it will have invert out invert in or it will n s e w nw ne ect the compass ON THE PLANS WILL SHOW WHAT DIRECTION LOOK AT IT CAREFULLY then you set up your level
make sure it is level then after you level your instrument you will either have a hub or stake or a nail in road sometimes you you have offset marks stakes ussually make sure you look carefully at stakes then take a shot on the hub or nail it will say cut or fill you add a cut or subtract a fill when you take a shot you will then have a number example if you shoot a 3.23 on rod which when you look at a grade rod it is in feet tenths hundeds example 1foot is in red big numbers thenred numbers on the side example 1 to 25 if the rod goes that high then you have little hash marks there are 10 little hash marks in a tenth which are the bigger black numbers now the the marks that are angled are 5 marks example if you look through and have a angled hash mark at 3 it would be 3.50 that would be the shot plus the footage ie so it would be at the 3 foot area and count and be at the 50 3.50 then you look at the stake if it says cut 11 foot to invert you add 3.50+11.00 foot you get 14.50 that will be the invert elevation also that number will be your hi hiegth of instrument so you put cut plus shot = hiegth of instrument which until you move level you use and shoot all your shots if it is fill subtract the number that you shoot you also set the manhole by measuring base and stone on how much you use dig down that level and you will get the grades you need

Will subtracting the invert level of a manhole from the cover level give depth of manhole?
Yes it will give
What is a manhole invert?
A manhole invert is the pipeline running across the bottom of the manhole, from the point where the incoming pipe enters until the outgoing pipe discharges the outflow. It is frequently expressed as an elevation level where this pipeline sits.
What is the difference between us invert level and ds invert level?
US = Up Stream invert level DS= Down Stream invert level If detailed on a manhole, the difference being the gradient of pipe in chamber from one end to the other.
What is the invert level for manholes and inspection chamber?
the lowest level of outgoing orifice where there are numerous inlet & out pipes connecting a manhole.
What is a drop manhole?
A manhole invert is the pipeline running across the bottom of the manhole, from the point where the incoming pipe enters until the outgoing pipe discharges the outflow. It is frequently expressed as an elevation level where this pipeline sits.
What is the difference between invert level and invert elevation?
Invert Level and Invert Elevation are one in the same. Invert Level = Invert Elevation (IE).
How do you determine invert level?
invert level =high level - the reading - the diameter of pipe
What is the difference between invert level and reduced level in a drainage system?
Invert Level is the bottom of the pipe, reduced level is the middle of the pipe.
Definition of Invert Level?
The invert level is the base interior level of a pipe, trench or tunnel; it can be considered the "floor" level. Conversely, the crown level is the highest interior level, and can be considered the "roof" level
What s invert level?
In civil engineering, the invert level is the base inside level of a pipe, trench or tunnel the carries liquid, considered the "floor" level. It is used to determine the hydraulic gradient.
What is invert of pipe?
The Invert Level of a pipe is the level taken from the bottom of the inside of the pipe as shown below.INVERT LEVEL OF PIPESection through pipeWater levelInvert levelCrown of pipe
What is the invert level for sewage?
it is the lowest level (or downstream level) of a sewer in which sewage is being transported
