Building signs

Structure signs, e.g. as bridge signs and for marking with structure number

The construction signs are available in various sizes and designs to meet the individual requirements of different construction projects. From marking culverts, tunnels, bridges, and substructures to labeling with structure numbers, they offer a flexible solution for construction site identification.

Use of building numbers

Building numbers serve as a unique identifier for a structure and are frequently used as an "identifier" in databases. This ID key is indispensable for administrations and companies that manage multiple structures. The unambiguous identification and efficient management provided by building numbers are crucial for the smooth operation, maintenance, and long-term upkeep of these structures.

In Germany, the structure number is used particularly in the field of bridge and road construction. Every bridge or tunnel receives a unique structure number, which is listed in the register of engineering structures of the respective federal state.

Building numbers are used in various fields, including:

1. Road construction administration: Here, structure numbers are used to identify and manage motorway bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure structures.
2. Municipal building authorities: Municipalities use these to clearly identify and manage buildings, monuments and other municipal structures.
3. Overhead power line pylons: Pylon numbers, which also serve as structure numbers, are used for managing power lines. Utility companies also use structure numbers to manage power plants, substations, pipelines, and other energy supply infrastructure.
4. Radio masts : Telecommunications companies use structure numbers to identify radio masts, switching centers and cable distribution shafts.
5. Railway/Tramway : In the railway sector, these numbers are used to identify bridges, tunnels, stations, and other railway infrastructure. These numbers are important for the maintenance and operation of railway lines. The structure numbers (facility numbers) used by Deutsche Bahn are eight digits long.
6. Water management : In water management, dams, dikes, locks, canals, and other water management structures are uniquely numbered for their administration. These numbers serve for the monitoring and maintenance of the hydraulic structures.
7. Industrial facilities : Industrial companies use building numbers to manage factory buildings, warehouses, production facilities, and other operational infrastructure. These numbers aid in the maintenance and management of industrial facilities.
8. Property management : In property management, building numbers are used to uniquely identify buildings, apartments, and other real estate objects. This facilitates the management, maintenance, and rental of the properties.
9. Airport infrastructure : Airports use building numbers to manage terminals, runways, hangars, and other airport infrastructure. Here is an example of building numbering at Leipzig/Halle Airport .
10. Military installations : Military facilities use standardized structure numbers to manage barracks, airfields, bunkers, and other military infrastructure. These numbers are important for the security and maintenance of military installations.

Buildings can be classified or numbered according to various building classification catalogs, e.g., according to the Federal Conference of Building Ministers .

A patented self-locking system ensures that the numbers and letters remain securely in place, even under strong impacts and vibrations. Installation is quick and easy thanks to a safety snap-lock system that eliminates the need for screws.

These building signs are indispensable tools for construction projects and offer a reliable and durable marking solution that meets the requirements of construction professionals.
