inspection chamber on the beach Explanation: This is not necessarily a "manhole". I prefer this more verbose wording to "beach inspection chamber" as the latter could sound as though it is the beach that is being inspected. In the UK at least, "inspection chamber" is the preferred term with public bodies as, besides being more inclusive, it avoids it is gender-neutral language. westonshore.wordpress.com/.../new-work-on-the-inspection-chamber-on... "New work on the inspection chamber on the shore." infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/.../6.3%20Design%20and%20Access%... "The subsea cables from low water onshore, the cables ... The intertidal area comprises an open sandy beach with the high water mark at .... cables. The TJB will include a permanent inspection chamber buried below ground." |
