The Ultimate Signage Solution for Asset Longevity

In power transmission and infrastructure, where safety, compliance, and operational efficiency are critical, signage is often overlooked. Yet, these simple tools are pivotal—marking danger zones, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting asset management.

The Problem: Why Traditional Signage Fails

For years, the industry has settled for signage that fades, corrodes, or fails within a few years, leading to high maintenance costs, safety risks, and environmental waste. At Identimark, we saw an opportunity to fix this. 

The result? 

U3—a groundbreaking signage solution engineered and guaranteed for 32+ years of performance.

The Innovation Behind U3: Redefining Signage Durability

U3 isn’t just another sign; it’s an advanced signage solution. Built for extreme environments, it’s the product of years of material science research and rigorous testing. Every component has been designed to solve real-world problems that traditional signage cannot.

How U3 Compares to Traditional Signage

To understand U3’s superiority, it helps to compare it directly with the most commonly used materials: aluminium and Colorbond.

As the table shows, U3 signage outperforms its competitors in every critical category—making it the most durable, cost-effective, and maintenance-free solution for power and infrastructure networks.

Tested to Perform: U3’s Rigorous Validation

We didn’t just create U3 to meet industry standards—we designed it to exceed them. Extensive testing ensures it performs flawlessly in every scenario:

  • Accelerated Weather Testing: Simulating decades of UV exposure, U3 emerged with no fading or degradation.
  • Salt Spray Testing: Replicating coastal environments, the signs demonstrated resistance to rust and corrosion.
  • Thermal Cycling: From freezing to extreme heat, U3 retained its structural integrity and readability.
  • Graffiti Resistance: Harsh chemicals and cleaners couldn’t damage the sign, ensuring quick, blemish-free graffiti removal.

This level of performance makes U3 the only signage solution capable of standing alongside the long lifespans of the infrastructure it serves.
