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.

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 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).


How do you shoot grade on manholes using offset survey stakes?

To shoot grade on manholes using offset survey stakes, first establish a reference point at the desired elevation for the manhole rim. Place offset stakes at a predetermined distance from the manhole location, ensuring they are level with the reference point. Use a level or laser to check the height of the stakes and adjust them as needed to match the reference elevation. Finally, measure the difference in height from the stakes to the manhole to determine the necessary adjustments for grading.


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.

HOW TO FIND LEVEL OF INVERT LEVEL OF MANHOLE?

To find the level of invert level of a manhole, you need to use a level or a theodolite to measure the elevation of the invert, which is the lowest point inside the manhole where the pipes meet. First, set up the level or theodolite at a known benchmark or reference point nearby. Then, measure the vertical distance from the benchmark to the invert level of the manhole. This measurement will give you the invert level of the manhole in relation to the benchmark's elevation.
