The ultimate manhole covers site

General


In Malta, there is a wide variety of manhole covers from different manufacturers across Europe, some of which are found only in their country of origin and in Malta.

Most covers in Malta are made of metal, but there are also plastic (composite) and concrete covers.
Cover shapes include rectangular , square , circular , oval , and even octagonal .
No circular covers with square frames (intended to facilitate paving around them) were found.

No colored covers were found in Malta. There is a single golden-colored cover (an information cover) .

Drainage covers featuring city emblems (such as the Maltese cross) also exist .

In many cases, the function of a cover cannot be determined. In other cases, drainage covers are characterized by drainage slots , water covers are marked with the word water or the letter W , and communication covers display the name of the telecom provider .

Manufacturers
As mentioned, in Malta there are covers from many manufacturers from all over Europe.
Some covers are from local manufacturers: Anton Zarb , Andrew Vassallo , Malta Foundry .
Other notable manufacturers include: the Italian MCP SPA , the British Clark Drain , the French PAM , the Spanish ULMA , and many more.
There are also manufacturers whose covers appear in Malta as the only country outside their homeland: NATIONAL FOND from Sicily , Delta Zita from Greece , and others.
It should be noted that the website lists only distinct covers. Therefore, in many cases, covers from other manufacturers present in Malta are not included on the site if they already appear under another country.

Since covers in Malta are produced by manufacturers from different countries, the certification marks on them also vary.
The European standard EN124 and its associated load classes (D400, B125, etc.) are very common among covers in Malta .
Other standards include the British Kitemark , the Italian UNI , the Italian ICIM , the European EN1433 , the Italian ICMQ , and many others.
