New Kid on the Block

Aqua Shield Inc. makes storm drainage equipment for private developers.

DESIGN:

The cover is design intensive, with a crisp logo in the center and several rings of text inscriptions circling around. Noticable also is the dark matte tone to the cast. This cover had not been installed for more than a few months before being photographed in 2018.

UTILITY:

Storm sewer

RANGE:

This cover is found in a privete, but publiclly accessible plaza on Blue Slip leading to Newtown Creek in Greenpoint. There is another, slightly different and older example at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.
