RCC Fabricators, Inc.is in the midst of their, three-year project fabricating custom sign structures for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. These structures will be utilized during the widening project along the New Jersey Turnpike from Inter-changes 6 thru 9 for the mounting of variable message signs. This type of design is the first for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and consists of the fabrication and delivery of forty (40) 5 feet wide by 10 feethigh box truss structures approximately 70 feet in length. These structures are comprised of 1.6 million pounds of weathering tube steel. Our 53,000 square foot facility, with its 40 foot high ceilings and 40 ton capacity overhead cranes, allows us to assemble all of the structures, complete with grating, access ladders and fall arrest system, with ease and versatility. The design of these structures permits the Turnpike Authority's Maintenance Division to inspect and/or make any repairs that may be needed on the signs without utilizing a lane shutdown. Once the units have been assembled, they will be delivered, complete, to the Turnpike Authority's designated yard, where they will await their erection. In addition to the VMS & VSLS Sign Structures project, RCC Fabricators has also begun the fabrication of their second contract with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. This contract consists of fabricating 99 traditional signs tructures for the support of the static directional signs. Similar to the VMS & VSLS Sign Structures project,these structures are being fabricated from 1.4 million pounds of weathering steel and are expected to be completed by December of 2011.
