Specifying Webforge civil drainage access cover and drainage grate sizes

The industry convention is to identify the size of access covers and drainage grates by specifying the internal clear opening dimensions of the frame. For circular covers this dimension is measured as a diameter. For square and rectangular covers, the normal convention is Width x Length (W x L).
