PIPE
A pipe is a long, hollow cylinder used to convey fluids (liquids and gases), typically water, wastewater, stormwater, or other utility services. Pipes form the core network of underground infrastructure systems.
Transport water, sewage, stormwater, or industrial waste.
Serve as conduits in water supply, drainage, irrigation, and gas systems.
MANHOLE
A manhole is a vertical underground chamber that provides access to sewer lines, storm drains, or utility conduits for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning.
Allow workers to enter and inspect underground pipe networks.
Facilitate cleaning and removal of blockages.
Enable connection between different pipes or branches in a network.
PIPE & MANHOLE as a System
Pipes and manholes are part of an integrated underground network used for managing:
Sewage (blackwater)
Stormwater (rainfall runoff)
Water supply and distribution
Industrial effluent systems
Manholes are spaced at intervals along pipelines or at junctions, changes in pipe direction, or elevation drops to allow for proper access and flow control.
