Do buried pipelines require access manholes?

It relates to a problem I encountered recently; I’m posting here for help from the knowledgeable Haichuan, hoping that experts can offer some guidance. Thank you! ! ! For buried pipes with a diameter of 1500–2500 mm, which are similar to water supply pipes and carry fluids similar to water under a pressure of a few kilograms, and which are several hundred meters long, is it necessary in the design to provide access points such as manholes every 100 meters for maintenance purposes? Are there any similar standards that address this situation? Furthermore, for such large-diameter valves (which are not buried but remain above ground), if damage occurs inside them, is it usual to remove them for repair, or do people have to enter the pipe equipped with an oxygen tank or a blower in order to carry out the repairs?
For valves of this size, it’s better to place them on the ground rather than in a valve chamber, as this facilitates maintenance. I’ve seen that the circulating water pipes are equipped with removable short circuits at both the front and back; however, it’s important to choose the gaskets carefully, as using the wrong ones can lead to leaks
Valves are placed on the ground; generally, when maintaining large valves, are they taken apart for repair or does someone have to go inside to carry out the repairs? Do buried pipes generally require manholes? What type of gasket is generally suitable for preventing leaks in large flanges? Do ordinary rubber gasket seals leak? Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
It seems that rubber mats are used for drainage purposes. Cheap
