Transmission
Pole ID Signage

South Australia

The Story Behind The Project

Project Overview

Owner: SA Power

Identimark was approached to address a critical issue on transmission poles within the client’s power network in South Australia.

The identification signs on these poles were fading quickly, requiring frequent replacements.

With transmission poles in proximity to power lines, it was essential to have clear, durable identification markers to prevent accidental contact, a major safety risk for workers and equipment.

  • Worked closely with the client to meet design specifications and installation requirements.
  • Selected materials with zero maintenance needs, saving the client time and resources.
  • Provided clear installation guidance to ensure efficient application.
  • Packaged signs in a way that streamlined on-site installation.
What Needed To Be Solved

Challenge

Fading signage not only posed a safety risk but also increased maintenance costs for the client due to regular replacements.

The client sought a durable, low-maintenance solution that would withstand the Australian climate and maintain visibility over time.

The Solution We Provided

How We Helped

Identimark worked collaboratively with the client to trial and select U3 signs for these transmission poles. The U3 signs offered several key advantages:

 

  • Fade-Free Durability: With a life expectancy of 32 years, these signs provide long-term visibility and reliability.
  • Night Safety Feature: The luminous strip enhances visibility in low light, adding another layer of safety for evening and night-time operations.
  • Efficient Installation: The U3 signs are designed for quick and secure attachment using SMP60 adhesive, reducing installation time and costs.

This tailored approach enabled our client to achieve a solution that minimised labor costs, improved safety, and significantly reduced maintenance needs.

What We Provided

Products Supplied

  • U3 Signs: Fade-free and UV-resistant signage ideal for long-term outdoor applications.
  •  
  • SMP60 Adhesive: Ensures secure, quick installation, reducing the need for additional attachment tools.

The U3 signs’ durability ensures that these transmission poles will remain clearly marked for decades, helping the client save on maintenance and enhancing the safety of the power network.

Products

Used In This Project

U3 products are designed to be fade-free and UV resistant, which means they need less frequent replacements, reducing the overall lifetime cost of the signs.
