History:

Manhole covers have been integral to infrastructure since the mid-19th century, when the rapid expansion of cities demanded efficient underground systems for water, sewage, and utilities. The invention of the manhole cover is often credited to the need for secure, easily removable lids that allowed workers access to these underground systems while also protecting pedestrians and vehicles from accidents. Over time, these covers evolved in design, with advancements in materials such as cast iron, steel, and concrete, offering durability and strength to withstand the weight of traffic.
