Markings on information plates for hydrant, valve and air vent

The markings on information plates, such as those used for hydrants, valves, or air vents, are intended to provide key information regarding the location and specifics of water infrastructure elements. Here is what the individual abbreviations mean:

• OT (distance from T): This is the horizontal distance from the sign to the object, measured in meters. Usually given as a fraction (e.g. 2.5), where the numerator indicates the distance and the denominator indicates which way (e.g. left or right of the sign).
• ST (distance from S): This is the horizontal distance from the plate to the latch. As with OT, this distance is given in meters.
• DT (Distance from T Vertical): This is the vertical distance from the sign to the object. This abbreviation indicates the height difference between the sign and the object, such as a fire hydrant.
• ZT (distance from latch to plate): ZT is a designation similar to ST, indicating the distance to the latch, but in the context of network connections or routes where the latch is a key element.

In addition to these markings, the plates may also contain other information, such as the pipe diameter, the type of object (e.g. H for a hydrant), as well as additional symbols that facilitate quick location and understanding of the water infrastructure. These markings are crucial for technical and service services, as they allow quick identification and access to the correct network element in emergency situations or during maintenance work.

Information boards necessary in water supply infrastructure

Information signs are necessary and play a very important role in water, sewage and gas infrastructure. Their presence is not only recommended, but in many cases required by law and industry standards. Here are some key reasons why signs are necessary:
1. Security
Information signs help to quickly and precisely locate key infrastructure elements, such as hydrants, valves, or vents. In emergency situations, such as fires, water or gas leaks, the ability to quickly access these elements can prevent serious damage and even save lives.
2. Facilitating service and maintenance work
Information signs make it easier for technical and service services to identify and access the appropriate network elements. Thanks to precise markings, maintenance, repair and modernization work can be carried out faster and more efficiently, which minimizes the risk of downtime and failures.
3. Compliance with regulations
In many countries, technical infrastructure regulations require the use of appropriate markings on water, sewage and gas networks. The lack of information signs may result in legal consequences, including financial penalties for infrastructure managers.
4. Infrastructure management
Information boards are also key to managing technical networks. They allow for easy tracking and documentation of individual infrastructure elements, which is important when planning expansions, renovations or technical audits.
