Introduction: Construction Project Signs EP 310-1-6a 01 Jun 06
16-1
The use of signs to identify Corps managed or supervised design, construc-tion, and rehabilitation projects - both for military and civil works - is an important part of efforts to keep the public informed of Corps work. For this purpose, a construction project sign package has been adopted. This package consists of two signs: one for project identification and the other to show on-the-job safety performance of the contractor.
These two signs are to be displayed side by side and mounted for reading by passing viewers. Exact placement location will be designated by the contracting officer’s representative.
The panel sizes and graphic formats have been standardized for visual consistency throughout all Corps operations.
Panels are fabricated using HDO plywood or aluminum with dimensional lumber uprights and bracing. The sign faces are nonreflective vinyl.
All legends are to be die-cut or computer-cut in the sizes and typefaces specified and applied to the white panel back-ground following the graphic formats shown on pages 16-2 and 16-3. The Communication Red panel on the left side of the construction project sign with Corps Signature (reverse version) is screen-printed onto the white back-ground.
A display of these two signs is shown on the following two pages. Mounting and fabrication details are provided on page 16-4.
Special applications or situations not covered in these guidelines should be referred to the district Sign Program Manager.
