Comments

2. The minimum spacing of drainage manholes/inlets shall be

20 meters.
3. The minimum size of drainage pipes shall be 910 millimeters
in diameter.
4. The provision of underground detention tanks as part of
storm water
management system, particularly in flood prone urban areas to
temporarily
store flood water shall be a consideration in the design of the
drainage system.
The Bureau of Design shall integrate the above-mentioned
guidelines in the
updating of the DPWH Design Guidelines, Criteria and
Standards.
For strict compliance.
