The Problem with Sunken Manhole Covers & Grates

Without proper installation, manhole covers and drainage grates can sink below the road surface due to wear, water ingress and heavy traffic. These depressions create hazardous driving conditions, damage vehicles, and contribute to surface water pooling.

The Risks Are Real Sunken ironworks are not just a nuisance – they’re a safety risk. Both motorists and cyclists are at risk from uneven surfaces and poor drainage especially when they are concealed by puddles.
