What the foundation needs to do

Digital signs combine a large wind-catching face with valuable electrical equipment. Their base is commonly designed as reinforced concrete around a proprietary root cage or bolt group.

We install the approved foundation and duct entries from the signage supplier or structural engineer drawings, ready for the sign and electrical contractors.

Options, assessed properly

Suitable foundation methods

The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.

Concrete

Concrete foundation

A reinforced base is formed to the engineer's dimensions with the supplied root cage, bolts and approved duct routes.

Often worth considering for: Illuminated monoliths, retail totems and outdoor digital displays

Ground screws

Ground screws and support frame

A designed screw foundation may support certain modular signs, but only with sign-engineer approval for wind and impact loads.

Often worth considering for: Selected proprietary low-impact signage systems

A written price for the approved detail

Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.

Before installation

Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities

Advertisement consent or planning approval may be needed, particularly for illuminated signs. Use the approved sign dimensions in the structural design.

Root cages should normally be available before concrete work; drilling a guessed bolt pattern later risks conflict with reinforcement and edge distances.

JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
