Hi,

Trying to learn.

What are these things in a landed house?
No.1-3

Can we cover them or relocate them, so the space is unable?

Thanks

Picture no.1 - earthing chamber - very very very important for any landed house ….
The earthing is a metal conductor that connects all the electrical appliances and that taps off leakage current to the earth .It an essential part of every installation, since this earthing or grounding prevents electrocutions from happening…
Picture no.2 - surface water drainage -  water would flood the area around your house. Drains  collect the surface water and this  flows into a public main drain system.

Picture no. 3 -  sewerage manhole …. Submanhole before going to main public sewerage drain…
Errrr you want to relocate ? And where do you want to relocate. Because looking at the picture you have about 3ft width space ….and shifting the manhole will cost a lot of $$$$$ because that is the last manhole discharge to your main public sewarage system …. The last manhole is the deepest … doing manhole requires at least ratio 1:60 gradient….

Hope this answer your question

Thanks a lot.

Question about earthing chamber.

1.Can we be near or step on it? Will get electrocution?

2.can we put electrical equipment like fridge or washing machine on it /around it?

3.also any idea to cover the drainage and manhole so that pest won't enter the house, in the case I cover the space up?
Like some mesh?

Thanks so much for your patience.
