A manhole forming assembly comprising

• an annular metal wall 1/16 inch in thickness having two ends that slideably overlap;
• four radial, elongated, flat, metal connecting arms equiangularly disposed within the interior of the metal wall, wherein two of said arms which positioned adjacent to each other are identical, each having a length of 101/2 inches and wherein the other two arms are identical, each having a length of 10 inches, each of said four connecting arms further including a first end and a second end;
• a plurality of curved spring receptacles secured to the annular wall, each having a recess;
• first linking means for linking each of said first ends to each of said spring receptacles;
• a lifting handle located off center within the interior of annular wall;
• second linking means for pivotally linking said second ends to said lifting handle and
• a plurality of springs, each located in each of said recesses of the receptacles to resiliently bias against each of said first ends of said connecting arms wherein each of said receptacles includes a slot allowing a respective connecting arm to pivot within the recess, wherein a locked position is created when the handle is depressed downwardly to move the annular wall into an expanded position, and wherein when the handle is pulled upward the annular wall is unlocked and moved to a retracted position.
