The design and placement of manhole covers, particularly the common 750 x 600 mm size, are crucial in the realm of urban planning. Properly integrated, these covers contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of urban infrastructure. Urban planners must consider factors such as traffic flow, pedestrian access, and the maintenance of utilities when determining the location of these covers.

Drain cover hooks also play a subtle yet important role in environmental management. By ensuring that stormwater drains function optimally, they help to mitigate flooding and prevent water pollution. Well-maintained drainage systems filter runoff, reducing the likelihood of contaminants reaching local waterways.

Molds are made by using green sand tightly placed and compacted into boxes called flasks with the top and lower patterns forming the top of the flask or cope and base of the flask or drag respectively. The upper mold contains holes or risers and vents for the purpose of pouring the molten iron and allowing gasses to escape. The riser connects to horizontal channels at the junction of the two molds so that the molten iron is fed at multiple locations to prevent voids in the final cast. Once the sand is set, the patterns are removed, resulting in a hollow mold of the top and lower portions of the manhole cover. These halves are then placed in a metal frame for the next step.
