The drain dimensions are 1.5 m wide x 1.05 m deep, which is within the recommended
limits.
Check flow velocity for open drain = 2.72 m/s < 4.00 m/s OK
Velocity of more than 2 m/s, safety railings will be provided along the drain.
Service opening shall be provided along open drain with maximum interval
spacing at every 100m
