The basic thing that is required is a strong easy to remove cover over the inspection shaft. A couple of Options are A. Instead of using the precast frame cast a new frame for the existing cover in the path concrete. B. Cast a Cast iron cover and frame in the concrete path. Although obvious it will be much smaller( see Flanged I.O. cover and frame • Type 1 at this link for an example http://www.ri-industries.com.au/commerc ... -openings/) The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

I will have a look at both options, but that pre-cast cover and frame look like a much better option. I will try and find some locally (Vic). P.S Thank you for your PCI guide. It really helped us out during our PCI. Re: Sewerage Access in way of Footpath 5Oct 15, 2015 8:13 am Crazyk Thanks CrazyK. Will look into that too.

Thank you. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag297/joeassi/IMG_3430_zpsp7fs10mb.jpg Re: Sewerage Access in way of Footpath 7Oct 18, 2015 8:24 pm I have opened plenty of these when I was still working in the sewage business and wouldn't be too upset with the 150mm. Just don't screw that plastic cap on too hard. The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !
