Danger and warning families
High-voltage, live-terminal, buried-cable, battery-room and residual-voltage signs — sized per line, from 300mm panels to 1200mm site identification.
Renewables project · Substation signage schedule
444 signs, and every one knows exactly where it goes.
When EnergySEA fitted out the 66/33kV substation at Lancaster Solar Farm in northern Victoria, the signage arrived as engineering, not decoration — two matching 222-sign sets produced to the project's signage schedule, from DANGER 66,000 VOLTS panels and arc-fault vent warnings down to Traffolyte equipment labels, each line item specifying its own mounting location.

The project in detail
Off the bench and onto the pallet.
Eight photographs follow the schedule through final checks on the workbench to the freight pallet bound for the solar farm.
This was a produce-and-deliver package — photography shows the finished signs at the workshop; installation on site was handled by the project's own crews.
Project at a glance
A signage schedule, delivered like a bill of materials.
Energy infrastructure signage is specified, not chosen — the project's schedule defines every sign type, size, quantity and mounting position. The job is to manufacture that schedule accurately, twice over.
Location-coded lines
Each line carries its position: entry gates, every three fence panels or 15 metres, 33kV feeder indicators, the wall below the arc-fault release vents.
Down to the labels
Substation incomer and equipment labels in aluminium and engraved-style Traffolyte complete the schedule alongside the safety panels.
How it came together
From the contractor's schedule to a pallet on a truck.
A schedule this size succeeds on discipline: one artwork setup, consistent materials across every line, and packing that arrives at a remote site intact and sorted.
Read the four delivery stages
- 1
Set the artwork once
The schedule's sign faces were set up as one artwork pass, so wording, pictograms and layout stay consistent across all nineteen line types.
- 2
Cut, print and coat
Panels were cut from 1.6mm aluminium with rounded corners and mounting holes, UV direct printed, then finished with a polyurethane clear coat.
- 3
Label the equipment
Incomer and device labels in aluminium and Traffolyte followed the same schedule, ready for panels, cabinets and instruments.
- 4
Pack for a remote site
The sets were wrapped, palletised and freighted interstate to the solar farm — sorted so the site crew can hang signs, not search for them.
Project anatomy
Specified for decades outdoors on live infrastructure.
Substation signage regulates safety around high voltage — it cannot fade, delaminate or rust. Every layer of the build answers that duty.
1.6mm aluminium panels
Corrosion-free substrate cut with rounded corners and pre-drilled mounting holes, ready for fence, wall and panel fixing.
View aluminium signsUV direct print + clear coat
UV-printed faces sealed under a polyurethane clear coat resist sun, weather and wash-downs for the life of the asset.
View safety signsTraffolyte equipment labels
Engraved-style laminate labels handle the identification layer — incomers, instruments and cabinets — alongside the aluminium panels.
View construction signageMaterial decision
Why UV-printed aluminium instead of stickers on steel?
Printed-vinyl-on-steel is the cheap path and the short-lived one — rust creeps from drilled holes and edges, and films peel in open weather. Solid aluminium with a sealed UV-printed face has no rust path at all, and the polyurethane topcoat carries the print through years of exposure a substation compound guarantees.
Rounded corners and pre-drilled holes are part of the specification — safe handling and fast mounting matter when a site crew is hanging hundreds of signs.
Budgeting a signage schedule
What drives the cost of an infrastructure package.
Schedule packages are priced line by line, with setup shared across the run. The main drivers are:
- Line-type count and total quantities across the schedule
- Panel sizes — small equipment labels to metre-plus site identification
- Substrate and coating specification for the exposure
- Artwork readiness of the supplied schedule
- Freight destination and delivery staging
Send the signage schedule for a line-by-line quote — quantities and spec requirements change package pricing materially between projects.
Technical detail
The deeper project information, available when useful.
The main story stays visual and easy to scan. Open these sections for the delivered scope, the evidence in the photography and the specifications that still need a site-specific review.
The confirmed scope shown and described on this page includes the following elements.
- Two matching 222-sign sets — 444 signs across nineteen scheduled line types
- Danger, warning, mandatory, speed and site-identification panels from 140mm to 1200mm wide
- UV direct printing on 1.6mm aluminium with polyurethane clear coat throughout
- Substation incomer and equipment labels in aluminium and Traffolyte
- Artwork setup from the project's signage schedule
- Packaging and palletised interstate freight to the solar farm site
The photo set documents the schedule manufactured, checked and packed for site.
- Finished panels across the danger, warning, mandatory and identification families
- The site identification sign naming the substation it was built for
- Equipment labels produced to the same schedule as the panels
- Sets stacked, wrapped and palletised for interstate freight
A comparable infrastructure package should be scoped from its own project documentation.
- The project's signage schedule and any spec the EPC or network operator imposes
- Sign families, sizes and quantities per the electrical design
- Substrate and coating requirements for the site's exposure
- Labelling standards for equipment identification
- Delivery staging — single drop or aligned to construction phases
Renewables proof · Infrastructure capability
A repeat client, order after order.
This package was produced for EnergySEA — a returning Platinum Signs client across many orders — and freighted to the Lancaster Solar Farm substation in northern Victoria. As Australia builds out renewable energy infrastructure, every substation, solar farm and battery site carries a signage schedule like this one; Platinum Signs manufactures and ships them Australia-wide.
- Manufactured to the project's signage schedule, line by line
- One material system across panels and labels
- Palletised freight to remote and regional sites
Prepare a useful brief
What to send for an infrastructure signage package.
Infrastructure packages are quoted straight off the documentation — the better the schedule, the faster the price.
Read the four-point quoting checklist
- 1
The signage schedule
The project's sign list with types, sizes, quantities and wording — a spreadsheet or drawing extract is perfect.
- 2
Spec requirements
Any substrate, reflectivity or coating requirements from the EPC, network operator or standard the project follows.
- 3
Artwork or templates
Supplied artwork files, or the wording and pictograms each sign must carry for setup from scratch.
- 4
Site and staging
The delivery address and whether the package ships in one drop or staged to construction phases.
Frequently asked questions
Questions this project usually raises.
Practical answers for EPCs, electrical contractors and project engineers scheduling site signage.
Yes — that is how this package ran. EnergySEA's schedule specified every sign type, size, quantity and mounting position, and the sets were manufactured line by line against it, including the equipment labels.
Solid 1.6mm aluminium has no rust path, the faces are UV direct printed rather than stickered, and a polyurethane clear coat seals the print against sun and weather. Rounded corners and pre-drilled holes come standard for safe, fast mounting.
Yes. This package was wrapped, palletised and freighted interstate to a solar farm in northern Victoria — packaging for remote delivery is planned as part of the job, not an afterthought.
Exactly is the only acceptable answer on electrical signage. Wording, ratings and pictograms are reproduced from the schedule as supplied and proofed before production — the residual-voltage sign on this page carries its ten-minute capacitor discharge instruction verbatim.
