Abstract

The authors propose a change in current practice relating to maximum spacing among manholes on straight sections of ducts of similar cross section. This spacing is a remnant of sewerage system maintenance practices that have been in use since the first half of the past century. Advantages of novel maintenance technologies, enabling adoption of much greater minimum distances among manholes, are presented and explained. Considerable savings can thus be made on all public drainage systems, and especially in the sphere of rainwater drainage from roadways.
