About this file

This document contains technical specifications for Square Tube Unistrut posts for the Road Commission for Oakland County, Michigan, detailing two specific sizes of galvanized steel posts for sign installation. The specifications cover 1" x 1" and 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" posts as well as 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" posts, with precise requirements for material composition, cross-section dimensions, hole spacing, and galvanization. For the smaller posts, available lengths are 3 feet (36"), 4 feet (48"), and 5 feet (60"), while the larger posts come in 10 feet (120"), 12 feet (144"), and 16 feet (192") lengths.

The specifications mandate that the steel posts conform to specific standards, including ASTM A-513 for Hot-Rolled Carbon Sheet Steel and MDOT "SIGN-207-D, PERFORATED STEEL SQUARE TUBE SIGN BREAKAWAY SYS" standard specification. The posts must be made of 12-gauge or 10-gauge steel, feature 3/8" or 7/16" diameter holes spaced 1" apart on all four sides, and have a hot-dipped galvanized finish. Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled, with specific requirements for outer and inner diameter cut tolerances to ensure consistency and quality for sign installation purposes.
