The signs had recently undergone Like-for-Like restoradons. My concem was to ensure the signs were safely attached to the building so they didn't pose a hazard to the occupants or generel public. The lower sign is attached to the face of the structure so wind loads are only experienced from one direction. There were notable fasteners at a reasonable spaung. It is my opinion that this sign will continue to pe�form satisfactorily as it has for years. The upper sign is attached to the face of the upper strudure with 8' at each end extending past the strudure. The entire sign is constructed of a steel frame with pressure treated plywood panels. The extensions are supported by steel struts anchored to the roof. The one item not provided for in the originai sign was a base connection for these extensions. I worked witli the owner to fabricate and install a base plate at these two corners to which the sign is securely fastened to the structure. Wind design calculations show that the sign connections are adequate and this sign will continue to perform satisfactorily as it has for years.
