In urban areas, stray voltage issues have become a significant concern for utilities. On January 16, 2004, Jodie S. Lane was electrocuted after stepping on a metal manhole cover, while walking her dog in New York City.^[13] As result of this and other incidents, increased attention has been focused on these hazards, including technical conferences on stray voltage detection and prevention.^[14] Insulation failures can be caused by road salt, age, rats biting the wires, or vibrations from traffic.^[15]

What is a Plasson Repair Clamp?

Today, historic bollards are increasingly recognized as valuable links to our maritime past. Preservation efforts are underway in many cities to maintain these structures as part of urban renewal projects. Some communities have created educational programs to highlight the historical importance of bollards, engaging local residents and visitors alike.

When we think about the design and architecture of our homes and neighborhoods, manhole covers are often overlooked. However, these unassuming circular slabs of metal play a far more fascinating role in urban environments than most people realize. From their historical origins to their modern implications, manhole covers are an essential part of the infrastructure that supports our homes and the cities we inhabit.
