Best Answer

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.

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.


Will subtracting the invert level of a manhole from the cover level give depth of manhole?

Yes it will give


What is the obvert elevation of a manhole?

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 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 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.


How do you determine invert from one manhole to another?

Given one invert, and the length of the pipe and the slope of the pipe, you multiply the the length of the pipe by it's slope (expressed as a decimal ratio) and add the result to the known invert.


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 the difference between invert level and invert elevation?

Invert Level and Invert Elevation are one in the same. Invert Level = Invert Elevation (IE).


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.
