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 invert in drainage system?

The invert is the exact elevation of a drainage facility or pipe where the water is designed to flow. If a 2 foot dia. pipe crosses the road, one end of the pipe will be higher than the other, say 6 inches of fall. Say the high end (elevation measured at the end of the pipe at the flowline) is at elev. 325.00 The elev of the low end at the end flowline would be 324.50. 325.00 is the invert in 324.50 is the invert out
