I have a number of technical dictionaries, and after doing some research both of these phrases mean "manholes" so since one is listed right after the other, I am trying to understand the difference so I can translate them accurately.

A possibility. I suspect 'entradas hombre' is taken from the English word, anyway. Saludos

Sorry, the entry in the dictionary is of course 'registro', not 'register'

manholes
"Entradas de hombre" or more commonly "bocas de hombre" are manholes practiced directly in a pipeline with a sufficient diametre to allow a man go inside it.
"Registros de Inspección" or "Pozos de registro" is used to describe a hole dug in the ground, normally used to inspect some device like a valve or a flow measurer. It is also used for the holes practiced in the sewage network of a city, the ones you can see with the steel cover on them in every street.
I hope this is useful for you.
