This standard is issued under the fixed designation C913; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of

original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A

superscript epsilon (

) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers the recommended design re-

quirements and manufacturing practices for monolithic or

sectional precast concrete water and wastewater structures with

the exception of concrete pipe, box culverts, utility structures,

septic tanks, grease interceptor tanks, and items included under

the scope of Specification

C478

OTE

1—Water and wastewater structures are defined as solar heating

reservoirs, cisterns, holding tanks, leaching tanks, extended aeration tanks,

wet wells, pumping stations, distribution boxes, oil-water separators,

treatment plants, manure pits, catch basins, drop inlets, and similar

structures.

OTE

2—Insulation and sealant requirements should receive special

consideration due to special features of the application.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded

as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for

information only.
