The aqueduct was constructed with a series of sixty-six inspection shafts along its length, thirty of which may be separately identified at the surface, sunk at an interval of 100–135 metres (328–443 ft). The galleries through which the water flowed have an average height of 1.75 metres (5 ft 9 in), rising to a maximum of 3.5 metres (11 ft), and an average width of 0.77 metres (2 ft 6 in). A double channel, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) in width and with a partition some 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in height, allows one channel to be closed during maintenance work without total interruption of the supply.
