About Guangdong Ecological Belt Skiltsystem

Guangdong Ecological Belt er et skiltsystem laget for elver og innsjøer i Guangdong-provinsen i Kina. Systemet har vann som tema og viser de kulturelle særtrekkene til ulike byer, samtidig som det beholder et enhetlig uttrykk. En standard industriell struktur og modulære deler muliggjør enkel montering, lett vedlikehold og lavere kostnader. Tyverisikre skruer benyttes for sikkerhets skyld. Skiltene produseres i to størrelser, 300 x 80 x 2200 millimeter og 600 x 80 x 2200 millimeter. Systemet formidler også kunnskap om vannforvaltning og beskyttelse av vannkilder.
