1. Can the manhole cover be opened at will?

For the manhole cover, the manhole cover is an emergency opening reserved to prevent the sewer pipe from being blocked, which can of course be opened.

But don't open this cover casually, or the sewage in the sewer pipe will gush out or flow out in large quantities. Only when the sewer pipe is blocked can professional maintenance personnel and engineers deal with it.

Second, what are the hidden dangers of sewer manhole covers?

1. Damage of manhole cover causes safety accident.

2. The manhole cover is trapped in a "trap" and the road surface is damaged.

3. The canal under the manhole cover is a sealed place, and toxic and harmful gases, such as methane (biogas), hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and other combustible gases, are easy to accumulate in the well. These gases are easy to burn and explode when they meet open flames and air.

Third, how to identify whether the manhole cover is dangerous?

1, first look at the location of the sewer and the surrounding road conditions. If it is only embedded in the concrete floor (and it is at the entrance and exit of the community), it is generally not a big problem.

2. If it is found that the cover around the manhole cover is not tightly covered, there is a big gap and rust marks, it is very dangerous.

3. When driving, if you find that the manhole cover in front is missing, you should change lanes immediately. If you can't change lanes, stop immediately to avoid inaccurate sight distance and tire jamming.

4. The manhole cover above the roadside green belt is generally not treadable, especially the manhole cover with broken edge, which is super dangerous.

5. The manhole cover in the green belt protrudes outward. At this time, it is necessary to prevent children from sitting on it and playing, and to prevent the manhole cover from breaking and falling in.

6. For the manhole cover around the parking lot, be careful not to stop on the manhole cover when parking in the warehouse.
