Change in Structural Design: Adapting to Highway Sign Board Challenges

A recent project involving the installation of a static sign board on a highway required a significant change in structural design. The task involved detailing steel frames for supporting different sized sign board. However, a particular challenge arose when one of the static sign boards exceeded the maximum size allowable for its designated steel frame type.

INITIAL DESIGN

We promptly raised a query regarding this discrepancy with the structural engineer. The project was subsequently put on hold to address this critical issue.

The structural engineering team responded by revising the original frame design and also the sign board’s size. This adaptive approach ensured that the structural integrity and safety of the sign board were not compromised. The revised frame design was then implemented, allowing the project to proceed smoothly.
