About Guangdong Ecological Belt Skyltsystem

Guangdong Ecological Belt är ett skyltsystem skapat för floder och sjöar i provinsen Guangdong, Kina.

En standardiserad industriell konstruktion och modulära delar möjliggör enkel montering, smidigt underhåll och lägre kostnader. Stöldsäkra skruvar används för ökad säkerhet. Skyltarna tillverkas i två storlekar, 300 x 80 x 2200 millimeter och 600 x 80 x 2200 millimeter. Systemet förmedlar även kunskap om vattenvård och skydd av vattenresurser.
