Gas in a square

 
Inset gas
No guessing here

 
The text on this square GAS utility cover that is seen in the street beneath our feet clearly informs the passer-by as to the purpose of the cover.

Gas drip



Gas drip utility cover
GAS DRIP and squares


The rare and seldom seen GAS DRIP utility cover.  This one uses a 5x5 square block grid and a sans serif font to designate its function.

GAS TEST utility covers are often seen in the street beneath our feet.


N.B.  more intensive image searches for "gas drip" utility covers uncovered three others; they are different, too.

Gas test duo


A freshly poured sidewalk, neat labeling, and a coat of paint - but the cement spattered onto the cover makes for a less than perfect job.

This gas test cover, made by Gardener Box, sports a sans serif font to indicate the cover function.

Worn down gas test


Gas Test utility cover 

The high vehicular traffic has worn down the lettering on this utility cover.  What remains of the cover design indicates that it is a gas test cover.

Double gas

Two gas covers


Another two gas covers


The recently installed gas lines resulted in two gas utility covers and many arrows.  The covers are Bingham and Taylor "B&T GAS USA" types.  The "A" arrows are apparently aligned with the underground utility paint markings.

G for gas

"G" gas cover


This "G" cover could be an old style gas utility cover.  It was a surprise to see it in the street beneath my feet.

More in the floor

Three more "in the floor" covers, all of them in the street beneath your feet.


Gas test cover

This natural gas test cover has a serif font for the GAS and a sans serif font for the TEST.  The use of the two didifferent fonts and the addition of wing dings demonstrates the thought and consideration that went into the layout of the cover.



Black hole formation

The formation of a black hole in close proximity to a light shimmered sewer cover illustrates a common physical phenomenon.



Worn down sewer cover

This worn down sewer cover is being closely monitored.  It will be replaced when a hole has been worn through.
