- Primary drains consist of main drains and laterals that have sufficient capacity to
accommodate the project design storm, either with or without supplementary storage in
ponding basins above the drain inlets.
- Auxiliary Drains Auxiliary drains normally consist of any type or size drains provided to
facilitate the removal of storm runoff but lacking sufficient capacity to remove the project
design storm without excessive flooding or overflow.
Auxiliary Component:
Manholes (Under Paragraph.7-3 and 7-7 of AC No: 150/5320-56, U.S Department of
Transportations)
- The primary functions are to provide convenient access to the storm drainage system for
inspection and maintenance.
- Secondary functions, manholes also serve as flow junctions, and can provide ventilation and
pressure relief for storm drainage systems.
- Materials most commonly used for manhole construction are pre-cast concrete and cast-in-
place concrete.
- Depth. The depth required for a manhole will be dictated by the storm drain profile and
surface topography. Common manhole depths range from 5 to 13 ft. Manholes that are
shallower or deeper than this may require special consideration.
Manholes Clean-out Boxes: (UTAH, RIVERTON CITY STORMWATER DIVISION, under Sect.
2.11)
- Design per APWA Plan No.-331, 341 or approved equivalent.
- Place manholes, at all changes in pipe size, alignment, and slope. Typical spacing to be 500
feet maximum.
- No City manholes allowed on private property. Exceptions require written request storm
water easement. Easement templates are available at the Engineering Department.
- Design boxes to be self-cleaning, except when specified by the City Engineer.
Manholes (City of Phoenix, Storm Water Quality and Standards under Paragraph 6.4.2)
- Manholes are required for all mainline storm drain pipe changes, verticals grades break,
horizontal deflection angles greater than five (5) degrees, mainline pipes intersections and
periodic location for access and maintenance. maximum manholes spacing shall conform to
the requirements in table 6.4.1.
Chutes:(Under Paragraph.7-5.1 of AC No: 150/5320-56, U.S Department of Transportaions)
- is a steep, open channel that provides a method of discharging accumulated surface runoff
over fills and embankments. A typical design is shown in Figure 7-10.
