Total Quantity or Scope

Fielder Green Associates have developed an interpretive signage system that conforms to the rigorous demands of working within scheduled ancient monuments, staffed and unstaffed and in remote, exposed and challenging locations. The signage systems covered by this contract cover two types. The first can be installed at almost any location at a scheduled monument and is fixed to a wall using mortar joints as fixing points utilising a “honeycomb” back plate. The second is a shallow tray system where signs can be placed into archaeologically sensitive locations without the need for deep excavations. Panels held within the frames of the signage systems are fully interchangeable and mechanically locked in place. Both systems also allow for the installation of audio media, bluetooth beacons, 3D interpretive or tactile displays and battery or mains electric operated systems. The signage has been utilised by Cadw on a number of sites for over ten years and all have demonstrated excellent resilience with limited deterioration. Signage is offered with a guarantee, regardless of location.
