Enhancing Urban Culture Construction through Cultural Art Manhole Covers

Cultural construction is the important content of urban construction, which needs to strengthen itself continually. This requires us to enhance cultural construction in the process of urbanisation and to use the power of culture to inject soul into urban construction.  

The manhole covers are increasing substantially in the cities because of the fast process of urbanization. The manhole covers are countless and can be seen everywhere in the cities, which take on the functions of load-bearing, closing and opening for inspection, and can withstand high vehicle speeds as well as prevent the entry of vehicles, pedestrians and foreign objects to guarantee the normal operation of underground pipelines and equipment.
