Case Study • Industrial Park Wayfinding # Hengli Industrial Park Wayfinding Signage A large industrial park needed one wayfinding and signage system for its gateway, roads, buildings, production zones and functional spaces. ZYD Signage planned the hierarchy, produced the signage and coordinated site installation and after-sales maintenance. Large Industrial Park • Bilingual Wayfinding • Stainless Steel Signage ![Illuminated entrance image wall at Hengli Industrial Park carrying the park name in dimensional lettering beside a circular park logo](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-entrance-image-wall.jpg) *Illuminated entrance image wall at the Hengli Industrial Park gateway.* Hengli Industrial Park uses a graded wayfinding system to connect the entrance identity, road zones, building numbers, production workshop areas and everyday functional signs. Stainless steel construction, bilingual information and coordinated planning support a clear visual language across the industrial setting. ## Project facts ## The challenge: one system for a large industrial park Hengli Industrial Park brings together offices, accommodation, production workshops, roads, landscaped areas and operational facilities. A visitor, employee or vehicle needs a clear route through a site with different zones and different movement patterns. The signage therefore needs to do more than identify individual buildings. It needs to establish a visual and wayfinding order across the park, while keeping people and vehicles moving through the right areas. - Create a clear sequence from the park entrance to roads, buildings and internal destinations. - Separate people and vehicle movement through road-zone and facility information. - Keep gateway, accommodation, office, workshop and functional signs visually related. - Use bilingual Chinese and English information where visitors and teams need it. ## A graded wayfinding structure from gateway to destination The system follows a graded sequence: the entrance establishes the park identity, road signs divide the movement network, building numbers and door signs identify destinations, workshop markers define production zones, and functional signs support everyday operations. This hierarchy gives each sign a clear role. A large gateway element is read from the approach, while a building number, workshop zone marker or functional sign is read at a closer decision point. ## Gateway identity and landscape signage The park entrance is the first identity point in the system. A curved image wall carries the park name in large dimensional lettering, paired with a circular logo element, so the gateway reads as one composition from the approach road. A second entrance treatment sets freestanding park name letters into the landscaped lawn. Both parts establish the visual language that continues into the road, building and production-area signs across Hengli Industrial Park. ![Large freestanding park name letters on the lawn at the Hengli Industrial Park entrance, with the bilingual welcome line beneath](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-entrance-landscape-letters.jpg) *Large freestanding park name letters on the lawn at the Hengli Industrial Park entrance, with the bilingual welcome line beneath* ## Building numbers and campus identification The accommodation and office side of the park is read at a closer distance than the entrance. Building number signs mounted on the facades identify individual blocks, and the number sits on the brick elevation itself rather than on a separate board. Because the buildings share one architectural language, the number signs carry the identification role. That keeps the campus legible floor by floor without adding signage clutter to the elevations. ![Accommodation and office buildings at Hengli Industrial Park seen from above, with landscaped grounds and parking between them](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-campus-buildings.jpg) *Accommodation and office buildings at Hengli Industrial Park seen from above, with landscaped grounds and parking between them* ![Building number sign mounted on a brick facade at Hengli Industrial Park](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-building-number-sign.jpg) *Building number sign mounted on a brick facade at Hengli Industrial Park* ## Production workshop zone signage The production area operates at a different scale from the rest of the park. Workshop facades carry identification signs set high on the cladding, and zone plates mark the subdivisions within a single workshop building. Workshop zone markers therefore have to work from a distance and at the building line. The signs identify the workshop and its production zone so that teams and vehicles move to the correct part of the structure. ![Production workshop building at Hengli Industrial Park with an identification sign mounted high on the facade cladding](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-future-factory-building.jpg) *Production workshop building at Hengli Industrial Park with an identification sign mounted high on the facade cladding* ![Workshop wall sign identifying a production zone at Hengli Industrial Park, with a separate zone plate fixed below it](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-workshop-zone-sign.jpg) *Workshop wall sign identifying a production zone at Hengli Industrial Park, with a separate zone plate fixed below it* ![Steel structure and overhead crane of a large production workshop at Hengli Industrial Park during construction](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-workshop-steel-structure.jpg) *Steel structure and overhead crane of a large production workshop at Hengli Industrial Park during construction* ## Road zones and people and vehicle movement The workshops sit either side of internal site roads, with crossing markings carrying pedestrian movement across the vehicle route. Road-zone information and the building signs work together at these points, so a driver or a pedestrian reads direction before committing to a turn. This is where separating people and vehicle movement matters most. The road layout, the crossing markings and the adjacent building identification combine into one readable route rather than three separate cues. ![Two large production workshops at Hengli Industrial Park facing each other across a site road with crossing markings](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-workshop-road.jpg) *Two large production workshops at Hengli Industrial Park facing each other across a site road with crossing markings* ## Functional signage with bilingual information Functional signs cover the everyday points that need quick recognition, including fire-safety locations, equipment spaces, service facilities and rest areas. Clear symbols and bilingual Chinese and English wording help the signs work for different users across the park. Freestanding directional signs carry facility information into the landscaped areas, so a visitor can locate a service point from the road or path rather than only at the building door. ![Freestanding property service centre directional sign in the landscaped grounds at Hengli Industrial Park](https://www.zydsign.com/assets/images/projects/hengli-industrial-park-property-service-centre-sign.jpg) *Freestanding property service centre directional sign in the landscaped grounds at Hengli Industrial Park* ## Materials and fabrication for an industrial setting Stainless steel forms the base for the signage elements, with the fabrication route using laser cutting and CNC bending to create clean, repeatable forms. Screen printing supports the information graphics, while weather-resistant coatings protect the exterior finish. For illuminated elements, waterproof and dust-resistant LED modules are used within the sign construction. The material and process choices are matched to the different conditions of gateways, roads, buildings, workshops and functional spaces. - Stainless steel base materials for signage elements and related metalwork. - Laser cutting and CNC bending for controlled shapes and lettering. - Screen printing for clear information graphics. - Weather-resistant coatings for exterior applications. - Waterproof and dust-resistant LED modules for illuminated signs. ## Survey, production and site delivery The delivery route starts with a full-site survey and graded wayfinding planning. The information structure is then translated into factory production, followed by coordinated installation across the park areas. After installation, the service scope includes after-sales maintenance. This keeps the system supported beyond the initial production and site installation stages. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does the Hengli Industrial Park signage system cover?
