The ultimate manhole covers site

General


The manhole covers in Binyamina-Givat Ada are usually made of metal or concrete and come in round , square , or rectangular shapes.
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 .

The manhole covers in Binyamina-Givat Ada are not colored, but golden-colored covers do exist .

Covers intended for the Binyamina-Givat Ada Local Council usually bear the municipal emblem . After the merger of Binyamina with Givat Ada (in 2003), covers appeared with symbols representing both municipalities (although the name Binyamina-Givat Ada appears on most of the covers, in most cases only Binyamina’s emblem is shown ).

No covers belonging to other municipalities were found in the area ("bug" category).

There are also covers intended for entities that are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not tied to a specific city and can be found throughout Israel. Examples include covers for Netivei Israel or the Ministry of Communications .
