ABSTRACT:
A manhole having a splayed rib ring extending from under a lid, an annular supporter having a beveled underside extending around the opening of a ring seat, and an insulation hood attached to an inner side of the splayed rib ring. Both the splayed rib ring and the annular supporter may or may not be concentric with the lid or the ring seat, respectively. Vibration and possible bouncing of the lid is reduced or offset because the splayed rib ring of the lid is retained by the bevelled underside of the annular supporter. A half round groove formed around an outer bottom periphery of the lid accommodates a rubber gasket which prevents the lid from directly contacting the annular supporter, and absorbs and relieves vibration of the lid to reduce the possible noise. The insulation hood completely prevents any worn cables under the manhole from directly contacting the lid and therefore, prevents any possible leakage via the lid that might endanger vehicles and walkers passing by the manhole.
