Explanation:
Pretpostavljam da se radi o „foul drain“, pa bi moglo biti:
„...100 m dia. foul @ 1 in 40 fall...“ >
„...kanalizaciona cev prečnika 100 mm, sa padom 1 prema 40 (ili: 1:40; ili: 2%)...“

An idea - 1/40 could refer to a gradient


Explanation:
foul - nemam pojme

@ 1 in 40 perhaps refers to the gradient. in other words, this path is sloping at a gradient of 1 in 40.

In English, we would say that a hill is a '1 in 3' or has a gradient of '1 in 3'

This would make sense here. Let me have a think about foul...
