Manhole Cover Adapter:

During the winter months, roads are cleared from snow which then allows frost to penetrate the asphalt.  This causes the asphalt to expand upwards.  In the warmer months, the asphalt will retract.

Due to the manhole structures being set deeper in the earth, the traditional manhole cover will not rise with the asphalt. This creates “potholes”.

Nathan Kember has developed a manhole cover that will stay level with the asphalt when frost causes it to move.  This “Manhole Cover Adapter” is an invention that is the first of its kind and will cut infrastructure costs drastically for municipalities each year.
