Amusement Logic carries out the design, architecture and construction of often highly complex projects, also on a turnkey basis. These include theme parks, animal parks, water parks, hotels or resorts, campsites, shopping centres or other leisure and tourism developments. The marking and signposting of all the elements that make up the technical installations of such projects is an important part of the work, which completes it and allows developers and/or operators to operate efficiently and smoothly.
As far as hydraulic installations are concerned, once completed, it is essential to identify and mark all installed components, in other words, pipes, valves, pumps, filters and other elements. At the same time, it is crucially important to label the direction of flow and the type of fluid being conveyed.
In addition to the identification, coding and labelling of the equipment and components making up the technical installations, it shall also be necessary to provide the operator or developer with a general layout of the technical installations. This layout shall be placed in a conspicuous place within the technical room and shall be available to operators and employees at all times. The schematic shall therefore serve as a guide to ensure proper operation of the installation.
In switchboards, it is equally important to create synoptic diagrams of the installation, so that the workers who operate them have a simple and visual diagram or map at their disposal. In the same way, the synoptic graphics help maintenance personnel to quickly identify any problems or faults.
On the other hand, technical rooms must comply with current safety regulations. One of these is precisely the one that requires safety signs, specific fire safety signs and evacuation signs for the room. In this way, a safe and standards-compliant environment is established in theme parks, animal parks, water parks, hotels and resorts, campsites, shopping centres or other leisure and tourism projects.
