Paving crews across the globe are upgrading their workflow – saving time, cutting costs, and increasing on-site safety. You can do the same.
Faster, Smarter, Safer
A Better Way to Pave
You’ve invested in top-notch paving equipment and built a crew you trust. Every minute on the job matters—and nothing kills momentum like stopping to adjust manholes. Even worse, one bad hit can wreck a milling machine, eat up hours, and cut into your profit.
At Mr. Manhole, we get it. You shouldn’t have to fight manholes when you’re trying to pave. That’s why we developed the Cut, Pull, Plate Method—the faster, cleaner way to handle manholes so your crew can stay focused on what they do best: paving.
Here’s how it works:
- Cut the manhole in under 15 minutes.
- Pull the frame completely out of the paving zone.
- Plate it—then mill and pave right across as if it isn’t even there.
When the paving and striping are done, the manhole frames get set to grade in under 30mins, perfectly level every time. No failed inspections. No callbacks. No wasted labor.
Whether you sub it or bring the process in-house, the Cut, Pull, Plat Method helps you take control of your schedule, boost profit, and deliver flawless pavement every time.
Oh and did we mention cities love it too!

Frequently Asked
Questions
Can I pave over a manhole?
With the Mr. Manhole method – you can! Our “Cut, Pull & Plate” system allows you to temporarily replace the manhole frame with a steel plate, then mill and pave over it, and later return to perform a comprehensive restoration. This effectively enables you to pave like the manhole isn’t there, thereby allowing you to avoid potential delays and disruptions typically involved with these types of projects.
How soon after rehabilitation can paving crews return to complete the surrounding asphalt or concrete?
In the majority of cases – immediately. The Mr. Manhole method makes frame adjustments and replacements incredibly quickly, thanks to precision cutting and minimal material removal that provide a stable, level frame for paving. The whole process takes about an hour, allowing paving crews to resume operations in record time.
What advantages does the Mr. Manhole repair method offer for paving operations?
In a nutshell: faster project completion, less excavation and material waste, minimal traffic disruption, and significant cost reductions. Specifically, our round-cut technology generates up to 20% less debris and uses up to 20% less replacement materials than the traditional (square cut) method – while creating a level surface, ideal for overlay. Additionally, it takes only a fraction of the time to complete (approximately an hour, compared to 5+ hours with the traditional method), significantly increasing the turnaround potential.
How does the circular cutting and faster process affect the pavement lifespan around the manhole compared to traditional methods?
Our circular-cut method reduces load points and edge weaknesses, in turn improving the integrity of the pavement surrounding the manhole. Sharp corners and over-cut areas, typical of square-cut methods, create so-called “planes of weakness” that feature poor resistance to impact and freeze-thaw cycles. Circular cutting effectively removes these issues, leading to a much more durable and longer-lasting pavement.
