The manufacturer’s covers are found mainly in Scandinavian countries.

The covers are made of metal

 

and are round

 

or rectangular

 

in shape.
Round covers intended for sidewalks are often surrounded by a square frame to facilitate paving work

 

. This pattern characterizes a significant portion of the square covers produced by the manufacturer

 

.
Nevertheless, there are cases where the paving is adapted to the shape of the cover

 

.

The manufacturer’s name appears on all covers

 

.

No colored covers by this manufacturer were found (except covers with a colored silicone gasket - see below under "Color code for identifying the purpose of the manhole"). A gold-colored cover was found on the site

 

Municipal emblems appear on many covers

 

, and prominent buildings in the cities where the covers are placed can also be seen

 

. In addition, some covers are artist-designed

 

, or commemorate specific events

 

.

In most cases, the function of the cover is not indicated. When it is, the following types can be found:
Sewage covers with the word SPILDEVAND (wastewater)

 

Water covers with the letter V or Vatten (water)

 

Gas covers with the letters FV (Fjernvarme – district heating), or with the corresponding logo

 

The year of manufacture usually does not appear.

Color code for identifying the purpose of the manhole
This manufacturer uses colored gaskets to identify the purpose of the manhole. This is intended to facilitate identification when the covers are covered by snow, or when several covers are located close to each other, and allows for quick identification, especially in emergencies:
Yellow - standard cover

 

Red - fire hydrant
Blue - water
Black - stormwater drainage
Green - sewage
These colors are specific to this manufacturer; other manufacturers in Norway do not necessarily use the same color code.

Standards
The Norwegian standard NS appears on many covers

 

, and sometimes the Norwegian K-mark can also be found

 

.

The European standard EN124 and its load classes are found on many covers, the most common being B125 and D400

 

.
Additional standards can also be found – the German TÜV Rheinland

 

, the German DIN

 

, and even the British Kitemark

 

.

Typical Covers
One complete series of covers features urban landscapes, famous buildings, etc.

 

. Another series shows a background of arrowheads, with or without a central emblem

 

. Another typical cover consists of circles of trapezoids with raised dots inside them

 

.

A rather rare form of lids that can be found from this manufacturer is the form of "twin lids" - a pair of round lids connected together, forming the shape of a "fat" ellipse (oval)

 

,
