Follow on Google News | Interstate SignWays Contributes to Successful Completion of Arizona DOT Road ProjectFor the sign rehabilitation and replacement at crossroad, frontage road, and mainline locations.
By: Interstate SignWays With the draft 2016-2020 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding projected at almost $6 billion, and multiple proposed and active P3 projects underway, the outlook appears optimistic for Arizona’s infrastructure system. The 5-year plan for improvement and maintenance to the state’s 60K+ miles of roadway includes the typical scope performed by specialty contractors: The Arizona climate is, at times, challenging to contractors. Summer temperatures can reach 116° with high levels of humidity. Additionally, the “monsoon” season begins in July and extends through September. Blowing dust storms in the afternoon, followed by muddy rain, are the norm. For the Tucson project, AJP Electric, Inc. installed over 28,000 square feet of signage manufactured by Interstate SignWays. The aluminum substrate was a mix of extrusion and flat sheet, depending upon the installation location. Aluminum edge molding was applied to frame the extruded signs. Per Arizona DOT specifications, the sign face required 3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG³ Reflective Sheeting. DG³ is highly reflective, and ideal for applications where no luminaires will be utilized. 3M™ Premium Protective Overlay Film, an anti-graffiti film, is frequently required for Arizona sign installations, but was not specified for this project. Inclement weather featuring rain and wind storms posed constraints, but the field personnel of AJP Electric rose to the challenge, putting in long weeks, and always using caution and safety as their highest priority. Tucson’ Interstate SignWays facilitated installation for AJP Electric by loading uncrated, fully assembled signs onto Interstate-provided A-frame trailers, in the order of the planned installation. Deliveries were appropriately staged, and trailers remained with AJP Electric for project use. A typical rotation provided by Interstate is three trailers, which this project required.
