Who provides for the replacement manhole cover, while the original is being machined?
Most authorities/cities/facilities have a number of “spare” covers in their stock depot because manhole covers are routinely stolen. Most customers choose to implement a “rip and replace” system whereby covers are taken from existing stock, machined and then exchanged. Repeat this process and develop a time line by which to install the system. An aggressive implementation schedule can realistically install a complete network (200+ Covers) in approx. six weeks.
