Green friendly Structual Engineering


Changing Times

To be most effective behind the signs, R. Scott Lewis keeps an eye on what’s ahead. We’re constantly learning about new materials, applications, and technology. We stay up-to-date with changes in building codes and regulations. We know how to design structures to support the latest LED displays.

If your sign presents a new kind of structural challenge, it’s likely we know about advanced fabrication techniques and mounting materials that can help you solve it. Changing times bring new opportunities for creating signs that deliver maximum impact. We help our clients be ready.

Structural Design

Structural Design

At R. Scott Lewis, we create structural designs that are economical, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to build. We bring a thorough understanding of shop practice and efficient assembly techniques to every project. We work closely with sign fabricators to streamline the erecting process. The result is a structural design you can count on.

Thorough Sign Inspections

Inspections

Ensuring a project's success means R. Scott Lewis engineers spend a lot of time on site. You'll find us jumping into footing excavations, climbing poles, riding in buckets, and hanging from scaffolds. We make sure site crews adhere to exact drawing specs and we inspect signs to assess structural integrity and OSHA safety compliance.

Understanding Connections

Connections

We know how signs are built and we know how to connect them. Expert sign consultants understand the importance of considering everything from building structures, to wind loads, soil characteristics, bearing pressure, and beam clamps. That's what we do to ensure your message has maximum impact on the viewer, and not on your property.
