Cast iron manhole “Miasto Kraków L.Z.”3D Model
The purpose of the manhole is to secure access to a pit, in which key components of different underground infrastructure systems are located, e.g., a water meter or copper and fibre optic cables. Manholes also protect all kinds of pits in water and sewerage disposal systems (gutter, drainage, sewerage pits etc.). They come in diverse shapes and sizes, and can be made of different materials, as appropriate for the application and where they are located.
The item here is a typical example of manholes used in the first half of the 20th c. in water supply and sewerage networks. It was made in Polskie Fabryki Maszyn i Wagonów L. Zieleniewski SA, which is one of the oldest machine manufacturers in the territory of Poland. Its beginnings go back to 1804, when Antoni Zieleniewski opened a forge in the centre of Kraków.
