The sign cabinet shown here measures 8ft. in height and is 56ft. wide. Lighting is supplied by 48 fluorescent lamps powered by 12 high output ballasts. When the existing face was blown off in a windstorm Sign A Rama of Egg Harbor Twp. was contracted to replace the face.
As much as I would like to have had an adequate budget for a complete rehab of the sign, it was not to be. As a matter of fact, we had to work inside a limited budget.
In situations like this we are forced to prioritize, we present the client with several options and the costs associated with each. Based on what is most important to the client we develop the scope of work.
Defining the scope of work and setting the budget determines the products and processes we will use. We decided to go with a fabric face, and a fabric retro-fit frame system. The Signcomp extrusion system is a terrific product, very durable and easy to use. After attaching our extrusions and stretching the fabric we used computer cut applied graphics for the sign content.
Typically this work is done in the shop, but the size of the sign mandated lettering in the field.
