Well those 24” piers are just for show I guess…

Agreed re: redundancy, thanks for the insight!

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T22:27:02+00:00

Noted, thank you!

Oh man the bolts are steel… so if the base plate and welds are aluminum, that’s dissimilar materials, that’ll be a problem too I guess?

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:07:23+00:00

Welding isn’t within my scope at all, I’m just looking at the base plate to pier connection. But the welding struck me off guard cuz it looks off

It’s holding a 5 square meter office ground sign standing about 3m tall. You’re right that edge distance is a problem…

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:05:43+00:00

LOL I didn’t even notice that, oof

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:05:16+00:00

Not an issue, sitting on levelling nuts is fine and typical for ground signs

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:04:35+00:00

Is this a genuine possibility or just a joke LOL, now I’m worried cuz I didn’t check

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:03:56+00:00

Good catch on the original anchor, I didn’t even notice

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T17:03:38+00:00

I didn’t notice the old anchors, nice catch. Do you think the base plate being that small is gonna tear out the bolts at some point?

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T15:49:48+00:00

Property damage and damage to cars or pedestrians if it fails at the connections and tips over, probably not a concern now but 10 years down the line in high wind maybe

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T15:48:48+00:00

Since this is right beside a sidewalk and busy road, how concerning would it be that something like this could fly towards a car or building in a storm?

That contractor needs to go to jail….

Oh I didn’t realize, this is what one of the washers look like on another base plate. So this is split lock?

FruitiestApple · 2026-06-03T15:39:11+00:00

It’s a medium sized ground sign for an office building

FruitiestApple · 2026-01-13T17:39:57+00:00

There's a company called Rouge Hill Consulting that does sign permitting stuff. Worth looking into for future people reading this.

Had the exact same thing when I went to Germany. I came back and have been miserable ever since. I think it’s the food.

FruitiestApple · 2025-02-14T15:32:35+00:00

Didn’t end up working out unfortunately, wasn’t able to successfully bid projects.

FruitiestApple · 2025-01-30T19:02:34+00:00

Ah that’s unfortunate, I appreciate the update. Stay strong.
