* Build an inspection pit or catch pit with an internal area of at least 0.36m2 and an opening of at least 600mm in diameter.

* Construct the pit on a concrete base at least 250mm thick with block walls, using solid concrete blocks, engineering brickwork, precast reinforced concrete, or a plastic/uPVC liner with concrete surround.

* Install items according to manufacturer’s instructions , design the cover and frame for appropriate load (e.g., 10 kN/m2 in high traffic areas), and embed it securely.

* If the pit has an open grating, build it at least 10m away from slurry or silage stores.

* For inspection pits, the channel must be benched half round, equal to the largest inlet pipe, with side connections discharging in the direction of flow.
