This is not the America I know, fixing bumps in the road and even putting protective fences around jobs that might cause a mess.

The entire thing is completely mislabeled. This video was not what I was expecting.

I mean, it is a method for fixing manholes. Another would be using a milling machine, adding a ring, and replacing with asphalt. Really not the biggest fan of this method, since concrete/asphalt interfaces can be a problem when impacted frequently. But on a fancy cul-de-sac where the residents all come out to see the neat machine? Sure.

If BoingBoing has taught me anything, it’s that when that happens, we can sill draw a dick on it and it will be repaired promptly

How about - just adding a spacer to sit between the cover and the lining of the hole? Like, say, the R-1979 Series Manhole Adjusting Ring?

It looks like a nifty piece of equipment. On the other hand, it must be pleasant to live in a neighborhood where the chief concern is how flush the manhole covers are.

The post reads “This is how they fix them.” It would more accurately read “This is one way they might fix them if they gave a crap.” For certain, they don’t give a crap around here and any given manhole ring and cover might be an inch high or low for years on end.
