Lake County Department of Transportation (LCDOT)
Overview:
As part of LCDOT’s Traffic Signal Modernization Program, TWG supported the design of decorative mast arm structures for key intersections across Lake County. The project aimed to combine engineering strength, long-term durability, and aesthetic appeal. Close collaboration with LCDOT, Valmont, and field teams ensured the structures would perform reliably while enhancing the community’s visual character for decades.
What We Delivered:
-Innovative Design Support: Contributed to the design of decorative mast arm structures that balanced strength, safety, and long-term durability with refined aesthetics.
-Strategic Manufacturing Partnership: Collaborated with Valmont to transform conceptual designs into fully engineered, fabricated structures manufactured in the United States.
-Stakeholder Coordination: Worked closely with LCDOT to align on performance standards, specifications, and long-term maintenance considerations.
-Long-Term Infrastructure Value: Delivered solutions that continue to perform and maintain their visual integrity more than 20 years after installation.
Results:
Two decades later, the decorative mast arm structures remain a defining element of Lake County’s roadway infrastructure. The modernization effort enhanced intersection safety and functionality while contributing to a cohesive and elevated streetscape design. This project stands as a testament to the value of thoughtful engineering, trusted partnerships, and infrastructure solutions built to serve communities for generations.
