inspection chamber Explanation: This is in the glossary, but can't find the specific one I'm looking for at the moment. Translation depends on size (see below), so if you don't know, plump for the middle one (inspection chamber) Access chambers are intended to provide simple access for cursory inspection and access for drain rods or other maintenance equipment. They are not intended to provide access for a maintenance operative and are generally not more than 600mm deep. Inspection chambers (often abbreviated to IC) are larger than access chambers, typically a minimum 450mm diameter. Again, they provide access for maintenance equipment, but tend to have more branches/spurs feeding into them and are often up to 1000mm deep. Manholes (MH) are the largest chambers providing access to a sewer or drain for maintenance equipment, and, in some cases, for operatives to enter the system itself. The minimum internal dimensions of a manhole are 600x900mm and they can be of any depth, although most modern manholes tend to be at least 1 metre deep with inspection chambers used for shallower depths -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2003-11-11 13:20:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, in a hurry, but the choices are: access chamber inspection chamber manhole (which judging by the info you have provided is NOT the case here) But there is lots more info in the glossaries -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 16 mins (2003-11-11 15:27:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a catchpit = sumidero There\'s a possibility that what you\'re referring to is an \"arqueta de desagüe\" = gully (and not an arqueta de registro, which has the above translations) Please see this question for more info: http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=358923&keyword=arqueta |
