I was impressed 20 years ago looking down at one in a Japanese street. The manufacturing process may be more automated now but the end product is just as beautiful.
That’s very smart of having a locking mechanism so that in case of electrical explosion or high water pressure the manhole cover won’t go flying in the air and hurt someone or cause more damage. Here in the US those covers do fly when electrical explosions happens.
We have gas explosions here in the Boston area because the gas company is terrible at fixing leaks. Is that what you mean by electrical explosions (natural gas hit by a spark), or is there something else that happens?
or here in the UK (although my uncle in London used to play a game in Richmond and Twickenham where you had to 'collect-em-all' by hunting them down and ticking them off your list... those had different designs but weren't painted)
@@ShortArmOfGod I think the original comment had more to do with quality of work and quality of product than racial stereotypes. Just like German engineering is actually good because Germans do have good engineering. Is that racial? No. It's a fact.
@@ShortArmOfGod I mean it in a positive way. I have been to various places in Japan. Taking care is fundamental to their culture as ones work has put meaning into the outcome. And FYI casting normally have a "draft angle" anyway to get the mold out of the sand. The chamfer would have been good enough in cast form. I don't think they machined all of the covers that way, only certain hi end ones.
I believe that the temperament, sensibility, collective consciousness, morale, and interpretation of the people of a country have a great deal to do with the degree of accomplishment and the quality of the products and services. In particular, it is important to continue to carry things out without cutting corners and without compromise. Are we satisfied when we are only halfway done, or are we striving for even higher goals? The difference is huge. This is obvious when we look objectively at the high quality and admirably good results in various fields in other countries.
Impresiona el grado de automatización de esta fábrica y lo detallistas y meticulosos en su acabado final todas las manufacturas Japonésas terminadas son arte y calidad ante el tiempo incluida estas tapas de alcantarilla.
Wow. such care and attention to detail. And the testing at the end. There were two factories I would have requested. This is one. Well done. The other is where the vast range of Tokyo street lamps are made.

I was surprised to see that manhole covers required such a highly automated and extensive production line, until I foud out that a large city, such as New York city, had 600,000!
Well depended, if you look carful in NYC those manholes are just regular not so elaborated like those in Japan, for one the one in NYC are solder to the ground fittings, this one here are loose
wow this is a very great video. Good camera work, music, angles, and subtitles! I thought they were making food from the thumbnail because ive never seen these things painted like that before!
I never thought a manhole could be so beautifully created. :) Water test of a manhole...well..because..Japan. Everything is calculated and tested before it leaves the factory. :)
Amazing mass production of high quality manhole covers, sub assembly. Enormous energy use and robotics. It can supply the world's needs for manholes. No need for other competitors. Save the earth limited energy resources. Very intricate detailing with colors. Makes it more attractive, than an eyesore on the road.
Видео как лекарство от бесконечного русского раздолбайства и пофигизма. Японцы конечно тоже в крайности кидаются, но как все аккуратно, продуманно, эстетично...
Outstanding! A a tie-dyer, I really enjoyed the colouring and the packaging, but my industrial side really enjoyed seeing the robots do work clearly designed to remove strain from humans and increase overall quality.
Those manhole covers look so cool and are so practical as you can instantly tell which service it is for. It also make a lovely colourful display as well. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing it.
When I was a younger man I first worked in many jobs, then I found myself in a foundry, this was in Bolton, Lancashire. I loved the job, it was all hand castings, it was hot and heavy work. The one thing I did not notice was the strength I was building up in my body, until one day I handed my brother an old cast heater. I held it out as if it was nothing too heavy, when he took it from me, he was pulled over by the weight of it. Before then, I just had not noticed the change in my body. I suppose lifting a few ton of casting for 8 hours can build you up better than a gym a few times a week. Looking at this brings back thoughts of my friends in that bit of hell. The area was a red-light district, and the girls would get warm from the cooling castings. I then went on to a rubber factory, in Rochdale, again happy memories.
Probably a good thing manhole covers in NA dont look that nice, because its not hard to believe people would steal them regardless of heavy they are. The designs and color usage is so damn good and the idea of covers to indicate certain areas is pretty damn clever.
People do steal them sometimes! The scrap metal value makes it worthwhile, I guess. :-/ Of course, not only is that theft from the people, it also leaves an absurdly dangerous hole in the road.
Seen the one w/ the fire engine when I was in Japan a few months ago. I always take pictures of manhole covers when I am in Japan. It makes me feel sad that my own country, Germany, only cares about utilitarianism and cost and not about aesthetics unlike the Japanese people! The same is true for most architecture. I always admire many buildings in Japan while most of the ones in my country seem boring by comparison.
Впечетляет продуманость и качество работ на каждом этапе, роботы и люди в одном завораживающем ритме... не обошлось и без человеческих усилий - сотрудник ставил люки в стойку вручную... и все же результат великолепен.
Suuuuuper!!!! Aber ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die tollen Kanaldeckel bei uns in Germany mit dem vielen Salz im Winter lange schön bleiben würden.👆👆👆👆😃😃😃😃 Viele Grüße aus Germany
@@Zifengtower French and Japan for the quality of there service in restaurant, plus good product they take to make meals are very good. And Japanese love very much France for that.
All the steps are predictable; but I was taken aback by the colouring step at [12:16] and the the care with which they are being packaged for shippment. Never have I ever.....
工場や厨房の製造過程を見るのが好きで、よくその手の動画を試聴しています。
たくさんの精密機械と人の力で、鉄屑が綺麗なマンホールに生まれ変わるのですね😊
一つ一つ手作業で絵付けをして、しかも深い溝にインクを流し込んでいくのが意外でした。
この製造工程の中で、一番やってみたい作業です。
最後の水圧の実験も圧巻でした。
使うために作るのですが、せっかく綺麗に仕上がったマンホールを下水道の蓋にするは勿体ないですね💦
貴重な映像を見せていただいて、ありがとうございました😊
私はご当地のカラーマンホールやポケふたを見るのが好きで、旅行ついでによくみに行くのですが、ひとつひとつ手作業で塗られていたことに驚きました！！ありがとうございます😌🎉
食い入るようにみてしまった。 尾道のマンホールかわいい。
かっこいい！今日も一日ご安全に！
마지막 테스트 장면이 인상깊네요. 높은 수압에도 터지지 않는 맨홀. 작년 여름에 엄청난 폭우로 물에 잠긴 도로를 걷던 남매가 맨홀 뚜껑이 날아가서 없어진 맨홀 구멍에 빠져 사망한 사건이 있었습니다. 이런 맨홀 뚜껑이 있었다면 그런 사고는 막을 수 있었을텐데 아쉽네요.
マンホールは芸術品だと思う
全てのスタッフの方の技術は
さすがです
🇯🇵日本的工匠精神發揮最大極限，每次看到日本製造的東西，都讓人很安心品質保證👌👍
今度からマンホール見かける度にこの動画のこと思い出して、移動に支障が出そうなくらい素敵です。
たかが マンホールと思っていたけど、時間と手間でかけて高性能のマンホールをかけて作ってるんですねぇ
なんか、こんな高性能に製品に囲まれて過ごせる日本に生まれてよかった。こんどマンホール見るときよくみるようにしますよ
生まれたときから身の回りに当たり前に存在してて、日本中いたるところに存在するマンホール
それがこんな多くの人と複雑な工程を経て出来ていたという事実にある種の感動のようなものを覚えました
Молодцы японцы .Нравится мне их основательность.Неторопясь, качественно делают свое дело.👍🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵💫🎏💫
恐らく昔は全てが手作業で行われた工程をDX化することで、より安全にタイムマネジメントが計られる参考例に感じました。
ご安全に！！
凄いですね。沢山の人の手間と多数の設備があって出来上がってるんですね。感動しました。有難うございました！
ご清聴ありがとうございます！
想到我一位藝術家的朋友，她只要到日本任何一個地點遊玩。
都會注意每個人行街道的人孔蓋，然後拍下來。
超過數百張的人孔蓋照片；變成她的樂趣😄😄😄
どんな物を作ってるとしても大事な工程を自働化する技術がすごいと思う。
尾道市民です。
まさかの地元マンホールが出てきてビックリしました。
こうやって作られてるんですね〜。

@@Blueshirt38 I _think_ there's another thing that can happen, where a transformer can explode. But I'm not sure.
工場見学みたいでめちゃくちゃ面白いです！
The degree of automation in that plant is quite impressive. And the ones that are hand painted are prettier than any I've seen here in the US.
or here in the UK (although my uncle in London used to play a game in Richmond and Twickenham where you had to 'collect-em-all' by hunting them down and ticking them off your list... those had different designs but weren't painted)

If manhole covers were pretty in the USA, they'd get stolen immediately.
like stop signs and stuff@@holzmann8443
Incrível como as coisas no Japão são muito bem feitas muito obrigado e sempre continuem mostrando os processos de fabricação do Japão
日本人很細心，每次去日本到處有新發現，滿滿的新奇與美好回憶。😘
Brilliant & Fascinating and works of Art soon as the colours are added
Terbaik sahabat 👍👍👍. terima kasih perkongsian video nya.semoga terus sukses dan terus bersemangat 💪💪💪.
omg! this process of making manhole covers is BEYOND amazing, its PERFECTION and EXCELLENCE!
道歩いてるとき踏まないようにしよっと、素敵
お見事な出来栄え。子供の頃、鋳物工場を見学したことがありましたが今は随分機械化されていますね。昔は多くの工程を人がやっていました。大変な仕事だと思いました。日本のマンホールは海外からやってくる観光客にも注目されています。
This was the best thing to discover before work. It's so calming watching the painting process
11:05 only a Japanese company would take such care to machine a surface hidden from the public. I respect that they put hi effort into their work.
.......a chamfer is needed to get the thing in place easier when being used. It has nothing to do with a racial stereotype.
I thought the same thing when I watched them deburr the drain holes on the underside, never seen, never touched part of the cover.

No.1 made in Japan
Nicest casting facility I've ever seen!
マンホールに塗料注入するところ見てて気持ちいい
Beautiful workmanship, you must all be very proud of your work :-)
Nice video. I can almost smell the hot iron and burnt sand!
Considering these are ‘just’ Manhole Covers, they are works of art and, I imagine, extremely expensive.
