Manhole Cover

A manhole cover is a removable plate or lid that is used to cover an opening in a street or sidewalk, typically leading to an underground utility or maintenance access point. Manhole covers are usually made of cast iron, steel, or concrete, and are designed to be heavy and sturdy to prevent unauthorized access and to withstand the weight of vehicles passing over them. They are often round or square in shape and have various patterns or designs on their surface to provide traction and prevent slipping. Manhole covers are an essential part of urban infrastructure, allowing access to underground utility systems such as sewer lines, storm drains, electrical cables, and telecommunications networks for maintenance and repairs.
