It's easier to dig down and build a brickwork chamber with a

foot X 2 Foot for a rodding access chamber, making the longest
face toward the direction of rod pull.


For the depth quoted by the OP (750-900mm), 600x450/24x18 would
be more usual. But yes, get the cover and frame first and build
the chamber to suit.
