Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy 5052-H38, Vulcan's Waterway Signs are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. This full hard alloy provides superior strength and durability, making the signs resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions. The recommended thickness of 0.090\" ensures that the signs remain robust and long-lasting, even in demanding settings.

Vulcan’s Waterway Signs are available in large sizes and can be made up of multiple panels to enhance visibility and legibility from a distance.

For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to place signs on both sides of the waterway. This practice ensures that the warning is visible from all directions, minimizing the risk of an oversight. Additionally, multiple panel signs require horizontal mounting supports, which Vulcan provides as part of a comprehensive kit, including heavy steel uprights for secure installation.

The decoration or message on Vulcan's Waterway Signs is the same as on their Line Marker signs, ensuring consistency and clarity. These messages are printed using durable materials and processes to guarantee longevity and readability. This ensures that the critical warnings remain visible and effective over time, contributing to the safety of marine operations.
