About Roads and Landscape

Manhole covers give you access to sewers, water mains, power/communication lines, pipes, and other underground things. Covers for manholes are works of art. 

Usually, they are labelled "Sanitary Sewer" or "Storm Sewer," but they can be labelled anything. There are many different patterns and designs on manhole covers, and if a city wants, they can even be made with a unique logo. 

Next time you walk through a city, look down and make a note.

Cast iron is used to make manhole covers. So that the covers don't come off when cars drive over them, they must be heavy. Most cap plates for manholes are at least 100 pounds each. 

Some have open pick holes that allow water to get into the drain. Others have hidden pick holes that don't go through the cover or lift handles, such as drop or ring handles.

Manhole plugs can be bolted to the frame for security. Manhole covers can also have a seal on the bottom of the cover and be bolted to the frame, which is usually considered watertight.

There are many different types of manholes like round, square, rectangle and box in our list. You can buy it for the best price, making your road and landscape safer even in risky situations.
