I'm designing a 5kV underground distribution system which will include manholes of course as well as vaults under pad mounted switchgear. It seems to me that the norm is to use open bottom and that while this surrenders the idea of keeping them dry, it at least assured if done properly that they will drain.
A colleague is urging me to use closed bottom structures. I assume you'd still have to have some kind of a sump at the bottom. Frankly, I'm not sure how that would work.
Would be interested in your feedback.
Thanks,
Mike
