The ultimate manhole covers site

General


The covers in Bnei Brak are generally made of metal or concrete , and their shapes are square , round , elliptical or rectangular .
When round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them (these are in fact all the square covers on the site).

No colored covers were found in Bnei Brak. The gilded covers that were found were generally produced by the manufacturer “Wolfman” .

Covers intended for the Bnei Brak Municipality usually bear the city’s emblem or the inscription “ע.ב.ב” (Bnei Brak Municipality) .
Many covers are intended for the water corporation “Mei Barak,” which serves the city .

As in other cities in Israel, a relatively large number of covers intended for other municipalities were found (category “Bug”) . Also in the “Bug” category are covers belonging to water corporations other than “Mei Barak,” such as a cover belonging to the Petah Tikva water corporation “Meitav” .

There are also covers intended for consumers who are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not tied to a specific city and can be found throughout Israel – for example, covers for Israel Post , Ayalon Highways and others.

The purpose of the cover usually appears on it (Water , Sewer , Lighting , etc.), and therefore the number of covers in the “Unknown” category is very small.

A large portion of the covers in Bnei Brak display their year of manufacture .

In general, the design of the covers in Bnei Brak is not unique and corresponds to typical designs of the manufacturer.
