A vertical manhole apparatus for use in a waste facility to provide access to one or more leachate collection pipe access points. The vertical manhole is stabilized using stabilizing features extending out from a vertical pipe of the vertical manhole apparatus.

An apparatus for use with a manhole and a cable, and a method thereof, is provided. The apparatus comprises a frame having an opening and a coupling mechanism for releasably securing the frame about the manhole such that the opening communicates with the manhole. The apparatus also includes a bearing secured to the frame adjacent the opening, the bearing having a surface over which a cable may travel in a manner that reduces wear on the cable when the cable is fed into or drawn through the opening in the hole.

A hatch control system providing creation of temporary bonded zones and ISPS (International Port Plants and Vessel security) area meeting legislations in order to build a barrier from the ground used in broad areas accessible by public and particularly in cruise ports. The system includes a hatch containing concrete coating having steel construction profiles thereon and located in parallel to the ground thus raising upward from one surface on ground and opening-closing vertically, an actuator connected to inside of the cover and providing opening-closing of the cover by rotation motion, a hydraulic power unit connected to the actuator and providing power transmission to the actuators, a control center connected to hydraulic power unit and sending command to the hydraulic power unit to provide opening-closing of the hatches.

Embodiments generally relate to modular access covers. Example embodiments relate to an access cover assembly comprising: a first set of modular access covers and a second set of modular access covers, wherein in each set, adjacent covers are coupled; and a support frame comprising end frame pieces, side frame pieces, wall boxes, and a support beam. The end frame pieces and side frame pieces define a support plane to support the first and second sets of modular access covers. The wall boxes define a support surface to support the support beam and the end frame pieces, and the support surface is offset from the support plane and the wall boxes are connected to the end frame pieces and receive respective ends of the support beam.

The subject matter of the invention are various methods, systems and devices and the ways of their installation/fitting/assembly of emergency opening of manholes (entry openings) or loading holes (door) in emergency situations, especially an emergency move/shift of movable components closing manholes (entry openings), exit openings, loading or unloading openings, from closed position into opened position, such as doors, manholes, hatches, gates, emergency exits, windows, window panes and other, especially in means of transport, construction furnishing devices and premises (buildings). The invention is connected with the use of pyrotechnic actuators which can be telescopic actuators, piston actuators or flexible ones, driven with propelling actuating agents which are in the form of gas generators, pressure of compressed gas or air, compressed air from a compressor or a material with shape memory.

A manhole adjustment ring removal assembly includes a frame. A pair of legs is pivotally coupled to the frame. Each of the legs has an upper end and a lower end and each end has one of a pair of thee plates attached thereto. The plates each have an outer edge extending outwardly away from a corresponding one of the legs. The outer edges taper to point and are extendable between an adjustment ring and a cone base. A drive assembly is mounted on the frame and is mechanically coupled to the legs. The drive assembly is actuated in a first direction moving the lower ends away from each other and in a second direction moving the lower ends toward each other. A lift ring is attached to the frame to be engaged with a cable to lift the frame when the plates are positioned under the adjustment ring.
