    City of Houston Design Manual Chapter 8 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS CITY OF HOUSTON DESIGN MANUAL Houston Public Works Wastewater Collection System Design Chapter 8 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 8.01 CHAPTER INCLUDES A. Criteria for the design of wastewater collection systems. B. This Chapter addresses the design of the wastewater collection systems within the public Right-Of-Way or a dedicated public easement. Sanitary sewers located on private property that are not in such a dedicated easement, are under the jurisdiction of the Plumbing Code, and will be reviewed by the Code Enforcement Branch. 8.02 REFERENCES A. Refer to the list of references in Chapter 1, General Requirements. B. City of Houston Engineering Design Guidelines Manual for Submersible Lift Stations. C. City of Houston Design Guideline Drawings for Submersible Lift Stations. D. Uniform Plumbing Code, latest edition adopted by the City. 8.03 DEFINITIONS A. Public Sewer - A closed conduit which conveys wastewater flow and which is located within the public Right-Of-Way or dedicated public sanitary sewer easement. A public sewer (or public sewer system) is intended to serve more than one residential, commercial, or industrial site. B. Private Sewer - A closed conduit which conveys wastewater flow and is constructed and maintained by a private entity (i.e. homeowner's association). Private sewers may be located in areas such as a private street or common area. Private sewers are subject to the design and construction requirements of the Plumbing Code and must discharge to a public sewer. C. Sewer Line -A public sewer located within public Right-Of-Way or Permanent Access Easement (PAE) I Public Utility Easement (PUE) that is maintained and operated by the City.

  • Precast Concrete Manholes Why Provide Guidelines?
    PRECAST CONCRETE MANHOLES WHY PROVIDE GUIDELINES? Past Problems • Was tedious to keep track of variables • Was easy to make mistakes • Wanted: A design tool to reduce problems TOPICS • Overview on Precast Manholes • Applications • Design Procedures and Applicable Standards • Watertight Structures • Quality • Installation PRECAST CONCRETE MANHOLES Round Structures • ASTM C478, “Standard Specification for Precast Reinforced Concrete Manhole Sections” PRECAST CONCRETE MANHOLES Rectangle / Square Structures • ASTM C913, “Standard Specification for Precast Concrete Water and Wastewater Structures” • DO NOT Specify a Box Culvert for a vertical application. Box Culverts are designed for horizontal installations and loading conditions. • Specify ASTM C913 for square structures. COMMON SIZES Round – ASTM C478 • Internal Diameter (I.D.) • 36” – 144” • Check with local manufacturer for availability of larger diameter structures. Custom box structures are easily fabricated using universal forming equipment. COMMON SIZES Rectangle / Square ASTM C913 • 24” x 24” to 72” x 72” • sizes increase by 6” increments MANUFACTURING METHODS Wet-Cast • Cast with an inner and outer form. • Product cured in the form. • Blockouts/hole formers can easily be incorporated. MANUFACTURING METHODS Wet-Cast • Cast with conventional concrete or self-consolidating concrete. • Base sections are typically wet-cast. • Wet-cast is common for sanitary applications. MANUFACTURING METHODS Dry-Cast (Machine Made) • Product is cast utilizing mechanized equipment. • Form vibrators consolidate zero-slump concrete between core and jacket. Manufacturing Methods • The product is immediately stripped and the form is reused. • Products typically cured in a kiln or a combination of tarps and moisture curing is used. MANUFACTURING METHODS Dry-Cast (Machine Made) • Both round and square structures may be dry-cast.
