An integrated access box for providing surface access to a curb box or other structure, and tracer wires in a single unit. The integrated access box generally includes a body having a first end and a second end and a first chamber (e.g., a curb box chamber or cleanout chamber) extending into the first end toward the second end of the body. The body may be substantially cylindrical in shape, and may include a first opening near the first end of the body and a first chamber access opening in the first chamber near the top of the body, and a tracer wire chamber extending into the body. The tracer wire chamber includes a second opening near the first end of the body. The integrated access box may further include a tracer wire access opening in the tracer wire chamber near the top of the body.

A lifting and moving device, and a method of using the device comprising a frame having a first ground engaging end with at least one wheel for providing a movable first ground engagement and a second ground engaging end with a pointed end for providing a fixed second ground engagement for the frame. A lifting and moving support extending between the first and second ground engaging ends is adjustable in length for providing one or more distances between the first ground engaging end and the second ground engaging end. A lifting device is retractable from a position on the support and the frame is movable about a pivot point provided by the second ground engaging end.

A manhole cover for a manhole provided with an access opening and suitable for containing a device for transmitting a radiofrequency signal is described. The cover includes a wall for covering the access opening when the cover is in a closed position, where the wall includes at least one through-opening filled with a sealing material, the sealing material extending over the surface of the wall of the cover that is oriented towards the inside of the manhole when the cover is in a closed position, the sealing material comprising a material that is transparent to the propagation of a radiofrequency signal transmitted from and/or to the transmission device.

A manhole installation jig including at least one example with: a manhole collar attachment system configured to removably attach the installation jig to a manhole collar having an upper edge, the manhole collar configured to support a manhole lid; a plurality of surface brackets extending outward from the manhole collar; each surface bracket comprising a ground engagement surface configured to engage the ground surface exterior of the manhole collar; and the manhole installation jig configured to support the manhole collar with the upper edge substantially at a vertical position level with the ground surface.

The present invention relates generally to a claw device for installing, removing, and repairing a manhole assembly. Claw device may include a base assembly and two or more arm assemblies. The arm assemblies may be configured to pivot in response to movement of a slide along an axis of a shaft extending upwardly from base assembly. In particular, when a lifting force is applied to the slide, one or more grip pads of arm assemblies may be configured to move inwardly toward the shaft and frictionally grip a surface of the manhole assembly. In one aspect, at least one arm assembly includes an extending member having a plurality of positions for adjusting the length of at least one arm assembly. Advantageously, claw device may be adjusted to accommodate for manhole assemblies of different diameters or other objects having various shapes and sizes.

A manhole cover and a manhole management system are provided. A manhole cover according to one embodiment includes: a cover body; an electronic unit including at least one sensing unit configured to sense information inside a manhole and at least one communication module configured to transmit information which is obtained through the sensing unit to the outside, and embedded in the cover body; a battery providing driving power to the electronic unit; and a wireless power reception antenna embedded in the cover body to receive wireless power supplied from the outside and provide the wireless power to the battery.

A cover for an underground enclosure may include an upper surface comprising a pattern of bosses, a first slot and a second slot disposed on the upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface. A first reinforcement member may be coupled to the lower surface. The first slot may extend into the first reinforcement member, and a second reinforcement member may be coupled to the lower surface and aligned with the first reinforcement member. The second slot may extend into the second reinforcement member. The cover may be configured to be lifted by the first slot and the second slot.
