The manhole covers in Yavne are generally made of metal

 

or concrete

 

and are round

 

, square

 

, rectangular

 

, or elliptical

 

in shape.
In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates paving work around them

 

(these are in fact most of the square covers).

The covers in Yavne are not colored, but almost all water-related covers have been painted blue (after production)

 

,

 

,

 

. One gold-colored cover was also found in the city

 

.

Covers intended for the Yavne Municipality usually bear the municipality’s emblem

 

and the words "Yavne Municipality"

 

.
Many covers are intended for the "Mei Yavne" water corporation, which serves the city

 

.

As in other Israeli cities, covers intended for other cities have also been found (the "Bug" category)

 

.

The purpose of the cover is usually indicated (water

 

, drainage

 

, sewage

 

, etc.), so no covers in the "Unknown" category have been found on the site.

The production year appears on a significant proportion of the covers in Yavne

 

.

Some covers feature a large version of the city’s emblem

 

, as does the emblem of the water corporation

 

.

The design of the remaining covers in the city is not distinctive and follows designs typical of the manufacturer.

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name usually appears on the covers, with most covers manufactured in Israel by several leading manufacturers - Menashe Baruch

 

, Gelem

 

, Vulcan Foundries

 

, and others.

Standards
The cover standards include standards specific to Israel: the Standards Institution of Israel certification mark

 

and Israeli Standard IS 489 (equivalent to the international EN124 standard)

 

. In addition, the international EN124 standard

 

and the various load classes (A50-D400)

 

are used.
