About Guangdong Ecological Belt Bewegwijzeringssysteem

Guangdong Ecological Belt is een bewegwijzeringssysteem ontworpen voor rivieren en meren in de Chinese provincie Guangdong. Het systeem is thematisch opgebouwd rond water en toont de culturele kenmerken van verschillende steden, terwijl het een eenduidig uiterlijk behoudt. Een standaard industriële structuur en modulaire onderdelen zorgen voor eenvoudige montage, gemakkelijk onderhoud en lagere kosten. Voor de veiligheid worden diefstalbestendige schroeven gebruikt. De borden worden gemaakt in twee formaten: 300 bij 80 bij 2200 millimeter en 600 bij 80 bij 2200 millimeter. Het systeem draagt daarnaast bij aan kennisdeling over waterbeheer en de bescherming van waterbronnen.
