Manhole closings are protected by a grating or manhole cover, a flat plug designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized access to the manhole. These covers are traditionally made of metal,[2] but may be constructed from precast concrete, glass reinforced plastic or other composite materials (especially where cover theft is of concern). Because of legislation restricting acceptable manual handling weights, Europe has seen a move toward lighter-weight composite manhole cover materials, which also have the benefits of greater slip resistance and electrical insulating properties.
Furthermore, an often-overlooked aspect of manhole covers is their role in environmental management. Adequate drainage systems are vital for controlling stormwater and preventing flooding. Manhole covers are part of a broader system that helps direct rainwater to appropriate channels, ultimately protecting urban areas from water damage. Well-designed covers help ensure that debris does not enter the sewer system, reducing clogs and improving water quality.
