It includes a first prefabricated well chamber 1 and a second prefabricated well chamber 2 arranged symmetrically. A first installation channel is provided between the side walls of the first prefabricated well chamber 1 and the second prefabricated well chamber 2. A socket steel plate 3 is inserted into the first installation channel, and multiple first connecting steel bars 4 are provided. The socket steel plate 3 has installation openings 5, and two installation openings 5 are connected to pipes 6. A second installation channel is provided between the bottom plates of the first prefabricated well chamber 1 and the second prefabricated well chamber 2, and multiple second connecting steel bars 10 are provided in the second installation channel.
[0028] The socket steel plate 3 is a 2mm thick steel plate, with T-shaped insertion plates 7 extending along the height direction on both opposite sides. T-shaped grooves extending along the height direction are formed on the edge side plates of the first precast manhole 1 and the second precast manhole 2, and the T-shaped insertion plates 7 are inserted into these grooves. A flange plate is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pipe 6, and the flange plate is welded to the socket steel plate 3. The length of the socket steel plate 3 is slightly less than the height of the side walls of the first precast manhole 1 and the second precast manhole 2, so that the socket steel plate 3 can have a protective layer after the side wall grouting is completed. In addition, a steel template 8 is fitted onto the pipe 6. The steel template 8 is installed on the inner and outer walls of the first precast well chamber 1 and the second precast well chamber 2 by multiple fixing bolts.

After installing water-swellable rubber strips 12 on the stepped structure at the edge of the bottom plate, micro-expansion concrete 11 is poured to seal the bottom plate of the first precast well chamber 1 and the second precast well chamber 2. Enclosure of the manhole sidewall: Steel formwork 8 is installed through the bolt mounting holes reserved in the first precast manhole 1 and the second precast manhole 2, and grouting is carried out from the grouting hole 9 at the bottom of the steel formwork 8 until completion; after curing, the steel formwork 8 is removed.
