The covers in Breda are usually made of metal

 

and are rectangular

 

or square

 

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

 

(these actually constitute most of the square covers).

The covers in Breda are not painted. Gilded covers are usually found in the “Breda Carnival plaques” (see below)

 

.
Covers intended for the Municipality of Breda usually bear the city emblem

 

.

A unique drainage cover was found in this city, in which the drainage slots are shaped like the city’s name and emblem

 

.

The purpose of the covers is determined by the word RW - REGENWATER (rainwater)

 

or by the drainage slots

 

.

Breda Carnival Plaques
The Breda Carnival is held annually in the city and has been celebrated since 1707.
As part of the carnival, which includes costumes and parades, a “Carnival Prince” is chosen. The plaques dedicated to the carnival bear the nickname of the “Prince”

 

or mark special events and anniversaries

 

.

Manufacturers
Many covers do not include the manufacturer’s name. In other cases, a cover by the Dutch manufacturer Struyk Verwo Aqua

 

was found.

Standards
The common standards are the European standard EN124

 

and its various load classes (B125 - D400)

 

. In addition, the Dutch KOMO standards

 

(K13347

 

and K7690

 

) can also be found.
