No, it's not gay porn. It's a water drainage pipe repair.

There's something mesmerizing about welding. The sparks, the bright glow, the smoke -- it's a cross between 4th of July fireworks and Christmas lights. Throw in Labor Day, and it's a holiday triple treat.
Then there's the manhole. We've all seen manhole covers in sidewalks and streets. But did you ever wonder what the rest of it looks like? Well, there it is in fiberglass splendor. A manhole xxxposed!
I didn't know what it was and had to ask. All of this is taking place at a road repair project at the intersection of Garfield and Golf Course Rd. in Midland, Texas.
I'm becoming a such a nuisance around that work site that I was told I need a hard hat, a reflective vest and safety glasses. In other words, gear up or get lost.

That's the new fiberglass.
DID YOU SEE THE OLD COLLAPSED FIBERGLASS WHICH NO LONGER IS A LETTER "O" BUT TRANSFORMED INTO A LETTER "U" AS A RESULT OF THE COLLAPSED?

No, did not see the old one except from the top, and from above it didn't appear to be collapsed. The one in the photo is a new one for a new location.

I did pass by Garfield Golf yesterday, 10/21. I saw about 4 old split apart galvanized corrugated culverts and each of those is about 20 feet long or a total of about 80 feet

Understood. You are talking about culverts, not manholes.
