What is an inspection chamber?

Underground drainage systems are networks of pipes, channels and other components used to manage and move excess rainwater or groundwater away from homes and other buildings. They divert the water to safe locations such as ponds or streams. This helps protect properties from flooding and structural damage due to water accumulation.

What are the types of underground drainage systems?

An inspection chamber is a manhole, or underground access point, that drains from one side to the other. It holds a series of pipes connecting household drains and outlets so that waste materials can be easily removed from the home. The inspection chamber allows for easy access in case of clogs or blockages, making it essential for proper maintenance of a plumbing system.

Where do you need an inspection chamber?

An inspection chamber is typically required in any drainage system where two or more pipes join together. These chambers allow for easy access to the pipes so that maintenance can be performed, such as clearing a blockage or repairing a leaking joint.

Why is the inspection chamber used?

This access chamber can be used to identify any blockages or signs of damage, enabling any necessary repairs to be carried out quickly and safely.

What is the minimum depth of an inspection chamber?

The minimum depth of an inspection chamber should be 600mm deep and have a diameter of at least 300mm, with additional clearances on all sides.

What are the different types of inspection chambers?

Inspection chambers are manufactured in two main materials: High-Density Polyethylene plastic (HDPE) and precast concrete. These can come in four different styles of chamber, including standard concrete rings, wide wall concrete rings, pre benched concrete chambers and prefabricated HDPE chambers.
