1 I-beam Isometric DetailSCALE: NTS

2 I-beam Isometric DetailSCALE: NTS

3 I-beam Isometric DetailSCALE: NTS

W8x21 Steel Wide Flange I-beam is cut in half to create 2 “T” bars.

Weld the two halfs of the i-beam together.

Sign panel slips into opening of i-beam.

Removable 18ga steel sheet to be mechanically fastened to flange of i-beam to secure sign panels in place.

Water-jet cut openings into flanges of i-beam to accept sign panel. Opening 10"h x .25"w.

• Perform regular meetings with LCCC and Tangram for reviews, discussions, and final approvals.

SAMPLES & PROTOTYPES

• Provide samples of all paints used in the project for review and approval by LCCC and Tangram.

• Supply prototypes for review of fabrication methods, finishes and materials.

• Prototypes must be reviewed and approved prior to production.

• If approved, the prototype will be considered as part of the total sign count. If the prototype requires modifications, those changes must be made before it will be accepted.

• Fabricator will be responsible for any costs needed to repair or replace defective prototypes.

P E R F O R M A N C E R E Q U I R E M E N TSENGINEERING

• Shop drawings must include all final engineering calculations before final approval.

• Designs of internal structure, engineered connections, mounting assemblies, footings, fastenings, foundations etc. are the Fabricator’s responsibility.

• Calculations for all structural members and foundations must be sealed by certified engineers, prior to fabrication.

REGULATION COMPLIANCE

• Fabricator to secure permits, insurances, inspections, and tests required by governmental agencies.

• Verify and ensure compliance with all ADA, OSHA, environmental regulations, and all other applicable governing code requirements.

• Fabrication of signage shall be designed to withstand Basic Wind speeds of 130mph.

METAL

• All metal surfaces must be cleaned and treated to prevent corrosion, oxidation, and staining of other finishes and primed prior to painting to insure maximum paint adhesion.

• All welds must be filled, ground and sanded smooth prior to painting to insure a uniform surface.

• Break-formed edges shall not have radii greater than the sheet thickness.

• Any bending that may occur from cutting the aluminum sign panels or the steel i-beams must be straightened to insure signs are plumb and level.

I-BEAMS

• I-beams may require some straightening after cutting.

• Must use steel I-beams not aluminum.

• Steel i-beams must be treated with a rust inhibitive primer that includes Zinc Chromate or Iron Oxide before final paint finish is applied.

FASTENERS

• All exposed fasteners shall be tamper-proof, resistant to oxidation and other corrosion, and painted to match adjacent surfaces.

PAINTS & FINISHES

• All paints and finishes shall match exactly the color, finish, and texture noted.

• A polyurethane clear coating shall be applied to seal the paint and preserve the surface from wear and oxidation. All painted surfaces shall be applied with a Matthews Paint clear coat finish.

• Paints & finishes shall be warranted and evenly applied without imperfections.

• The Fabricator shall supply a statement identifying their painting process. Process is to be proven to LCCC and Tangram either through photographs or through on-site visits per stage.

LETTER FORMS

• All acrylic letter forms are to be water-jet cut. Routed letter forms will not be accepted.

• Upon application, all letter forms shall be aligned to maintain a base line parallel to the sign format.
