Signs that Multi-Task

Signcraft was recently asked to design, construct and install a large format monolith sign for a relatively new office building for Tamesis in Staines, Middlesex. Whilst the prime requirement was to landmark the building, the customer wanted multiple functionality from the sign - not always easy without distracting from its prime purpose.

In this application, the sign also needed to provide a tenant directory and act as a marketing tool. The site and scPolystyreneale - standing five metres tall and being placed strategically in the well developed forward landscaping area - was certainly suitable for such a requirement, giving it great exposure.

'The result? A sign that looks great and quite literally multi-tasks!'

So Signcraft's Director Tony White set about designing a structure and sign that would not only look impressive, but perform the multiple functions required... with style! Tony designed the sign as a tubular steel space frame, clad with aluminium face panels with detachable tenant plates. Signcraft instructed a structural engineer to advise us with regard to wind loadings; the foundations were, therefore, quite substantial and cast in grade 1 concrete. Polystrene blacks were set into the base, which were removed once the base had set to provide holes for the sign legs to be inserted. The sign was lifted into the block using a crane and fast setting cement slurry was introduced to set the sign permanently.

'The result? A sign that looks great and quite literally multi-tasks!'
