The obvert elevation of a pipe is the elevation of the inner top surface of the pipe (as opposed to "invert" which is the inner bottom surface of the pipe). Invert (and obvert) is usually used in reference to pipe and not manholes, since the invert elevation is where the water flow calculations begin. Based on this interpretation, the obvert (at a manhole) can be measured as the distance from the manhole rim to the inside top of the pipe(s).

What is rim elevation of a manhole?
Rim, on a manhole, is the elevation of the top of the cover on the manhole. In a roadway the rim will at be final grade, in grass they can be sumped, flush or stick up.
Why are manhole covers in the us round instead of square?
The round manhole cannot fall into the hole no matter which way you turn it.
What does the elevation mean?
Elevation means the height of something.

What is rim elevation of a manhole?

How do you calculate the invert elevation of a manhole?
Invert elevations can usually be found directly on as-built drawings of the sewer facility. The simplest way to calculate an invert elevation of a manhole is to measure the depth of the manhole from the surface to the pipe invert. The invert elevation equals the ground or rim elevation minus this depth. If you do not know the rim elevation or invert elevation, a surveyor must measure the invert and/or rim elevation with reference to a nearby elevation benchmark (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Elevation_Benchmark.jpg). Also, upstream and downstream invert elevations in a manhole typically differ by about 0.1 feet.
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 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.
When did The Manhole happen?
The Manhole happened in 1988.
What is obvert in drainage?
The top inside level of a pipe, culvert etc.
What is the minimum spacing between manhole to manhole?
30ft
When was The Manhole created?
The Manhole was created in 1988.
Why is a manhole called a manhole?
Because it is a hole in a street meant for workmen to climb down to check the sewers. A hole for a man is a manhole.
Why are manhole covers not rectangular?
If they were rectangular they could fall down the manhole.
How do you calculate slope of manhole to manhole?
how calculate slope mh to mh
How do you open the manhole in Game Show Island?
The manhole is at Main Street by the Muesuem.
