Abstract
The design of manholes dates back more than 100 years. However, there have been developments such as the use of new materials for the manufacture of manholes, and advances in inspection and maintenance technologies, allowing improvements to the shape of manholes. This paper presents an innovative design for manholes, created to overcome the challenges associated with the installation of separate sewer systems in narrow streets, common to both UK and EU cities. The traditional separate sewer system has two separate manholes. The proposed manhole combines these two manholes into one structure, with two separate chambers, to allow storm flow and foul flow to pass through the same manhole without mixing. The structural performance of the new design has been tested using mathematical modelling validated by experimental tests. The results are compared with the structural performance of traditional manholes. The new design shows an improved resistance to high live loads.
