At SignWorks, we take pride in helping businesses and property developers maintain their signage for maximum visibility and functionality. Our recent project with Browman Development involved repairing the pylon and monument signs at Dublin Plaza. What started as a simple refresh turned into a more involved repair job to restore proper lighting.
Project Overview: A Simple Refresh Turns Into Critical Repairs
Browman Development initially contacted us to spruce up the pylon and monument signs at Dublin Plaza with a fresh coat of paint. However, after the repainting was complete, it became clear that the signs were not illuminating properly. Given our longstanding relationship with Browman Development, we were quickly tasked with diagnosing the problem and implementing a solution.
Investigating the Lighting Issue
To get to the root of the problem, our team conducted a thorough site assessment, checking all electrical components and lighting fixtures. Our findings included:
- Non-Functional LED Bulbs – Many of the existing LED bulbs were either burned out or malfunctioning.
- Minor Wiring Issues – Some of the electrical connections needed adjustments to ensure proper power flow.
- Overall Structural Integrity Check – The sign structures were in good condition, making the repairs straightforward.
Our recommendation was to replace all LED bulbs and perform minor wiring repairs to restore full functionality.
Coordinating the Repairs: A High-Reach Job
Since the pylon sign was quite tall, this project required special equipment to complete the work safely and efficiently. We coordinated the effort using a 60-ft articulating lift from our favorite equipment rental supplier to reach the upper sections of the pylon sign.
Key steps in the repair process included:
- Securing the Site – Ensuring safety for workers and pedestrians during the repair process.
- Replacing LED Bulbs – Installing new, energy-efficient LED bulbs for long-lasting illumination.
- Testing the Wiring – Verifying that all connections were properly secured and functional.
- Final Inspection – Ensuring even lighting distribution and overall sign visibility.
Project Completion and Additional Recommendations
With the new LED bulbs and wiring fixes in place, the pylon and monument signs at Dublin Plaza are now fully illuminated, making them visible to customers both day and night. However, during our assessment, we also noted that some of the tenant graphics on the pylon sign were worn and faded. While this was not part of our original scope, we recommended that individual tenants consider replacing their sign faces to ensure a fresh and professional appearance.
