You can get double-sealed manhole covers which give a flush finish and accept a panel of eg laminate, for when sewers have to run under interior floors. I don't know how well carpet would fit into the cover panel. Another option would be the floorboxes used for concealed power and data points in offices -- they are designed to accept carpet. Neither will be invisible.
