2026 Upgrading Scheme for Flood Control and Emergency Signs in Water Conservancy Engineering

　　Water-involved areas of outdoor water conservancy projects feature complex working conditions and are prone to safety hazards during flood seasons. Therefore, water resources departments of all provinces organize annual collection and evaluation of advanced and practical water conservancy technologies (products) to reduce safety risks. Technologies and products that pass compliance review, expert evaluation and public notification can make significant contributions to flood control and emergency safety.

　　Conventional flood control and emergency signs have insufficient weather resistance. After about one year of outdoor exposure to intense sunlight and rain erosion, problems such as aging, paint peeling and corrosion will emerge. They also have poor nighttime visibility, making them hard to identify after dark. Water-exposed signs tend to accumulate microorganisms, requiring regular manual cleaning and maintenance, which brings certain safety hazards. In response to the above issues, Globright, in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed inorganic self-luminous materials as the carrier of flood control and emergency signs, solving the long-standing problems of conventional products.

Upgrade of Conventional Water Level Gauges to Inorganic Self-Luminous Water Level Gauges

　　Application Scenarios: Upstream and downstream of dams, gate ponds, river sections, reservoir banks, hydrological stations, canal water diversion outlets

　　Features: Corrosion resistance, water immersion resistance, tolerance to extreme temperatures, permanently fade-proof graphics and texts, no microorganism accumulation, autonomous luminescence for over 10 hours at night, service life of more than 15 years

　　Advantages: The inorganic crystal self-cleaning surface prevents microorganism buildup. The gauges remain clearly visible day and night, allowing intuitive reading of real-time water levels to support flood control dispatching, irrigation water allocation and flood early warning.

Upgrade of Conventional Dyke Landslide Hazard Signs to Inorganic Self-Luminous Signboards

　　Application Scenarios: Steep waterfront dykes, soil slopes, reservoir bank collapse-prone sections

　　Features: High hardness, corrosion resistance, anti-aging performance, permanently fade-proof graphics and texts, service life of more than 15 years, autonomous luminescence for over 10 hours at night.

　　Advantages: With Mohs hardness Grade 5, they will not break under strong wind. Strikingly visible day and night, they warn of soil collapse risks in the area and prohibit long-time stay at the toe or top of slopes.

Upgrade of Conventional Water Depth Hazard Warning Boards to Inorganic Self-Luminous Warning Boards

　　Application Scenarios: All waterfront areas of reservoirs, rivers, canals, gate ponds and overflow basins

　　Features: High hardness, corrosion resistance, anti-aging performance, water immersion resistance, permanently fade-proof graphics and texts, service life of more than 15 years, autonomous luminescence for over 10 hours at night

　　Advantages: They will not corrode in humid environments, and the fade-proof graphics remain clear day and night. The signs remind the public that the water depth exceeds the safe range, with complex underwater terrain posing drowning risks, and strictly prohibit swimming and wading in the area.

Upgrade of Conventional Patrol Routes to Patrol Routes with Inorganic Self-Luminous Guidance Markings

　　Application Scenarios: Main dam patrol, reservoir shoreline patrol around the lake, sluice/pumping station hub patrol, full-section patrol of dyke crest roads, patrol of waterfront sections on water-facing slopes

　　Features: High hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, water immersion resistance, permanently fade-proof graphics and texts, service life of more than 15 years, autonomous luminescence for over 10 hours at night

　　Advantages: They provide clear route guidance for night patrol personnel, highlight key points for safety inspection, and help detect and eliminate hidden safety hazards in a timely manner.

Upgrade of Conventional High-Voltage Hydropower Equipment Warning Boards to Inorganic Self-Luminous Warning Boards

　　Application Scenarios: Hydropower station workshops, pumping station power distribution rooms, gate hoist electric control rooms, waterfront sections of power transmission towers

　　Features: High hardness, corrosion resistance, anti-aging performance, water immersion resistance, permanently fade-proof graphics and texts, service life of more than 15 years, autonomous luminescence for over 10 hours at night

　　Advantages: Clearly visible day and night, they continuously deliver warning messages about high-voltage water conservancy electromechanical equipment to prevent electric shock accidents.

　　In conclusion, after upgrading flood control and emergency signs to inorganic self-luminous material signboards, there is no longer need to worry about issues such as aging, corrosion and rust, wind damage and nighttime invisibility. The replacement cycle has been extended from the original every two years to more than 15 years, greatly reducing the operation and maintenance costs of projects. For outdoor water conservancy signs, Globright inorganic self-luminous materials are recommended. They deliver clear display day and night, transmit safety information around the clock, and reduce the incidence of water area safety accidents.
