Steer and Trueform Engineering Group partnered to deliver six interpretive signs for Shoreburs Greenway in Southampton.

The product is manufactured from FSC sustainable timber which has a lifetime guarantee and is easy for the council to install. The location of the sign is engraved into the timber for users to orientate themselves. The panels are powdered coated aluminium with an exterior grade vinyl that is graffiti and UV-resistant. They are attached with anti-theft fixings.

The panels include bespoke mapping which highlights nature, accessibility information and amenities. There is also a schematic context map to locate your position within the more comprehensive trail.

The interpretive information is designed with a bold playful style to interest adults and children. The content is curated so that fun facts are positioned at children’s optimum viewing height.
