Inside Industry Solutions. Speed should never come at the price of safety and quality, especially when installing and maintaining signage that thousands of people may look at on a daily basis for a long time. Of environmental loads, which provide the greatest impact on signage design, wind is often considered the most significant because it can cause the most damage for the most geographic areas.
Public safety is the primary concern for any signage project.
To be safe, the sign and its foundation must be strong enough to offset natural forces, or loads, that maycontinually challenge their durability. Of environmental loads, which provide the greatest impact on signage design, wind is often considered the most significant because it can cause the most damage for the most geographic areas. Ice and snow, on the other hand, are climate-specific concerns. In cold weather areas with high snowfall, frost heave, a condition in which soil with a high-moisture content expands as water freezes, must be considered when determining design requirements and selecting foundation depths for signage. The stronger the wind, the stronger the moment that weighs against the sign.
