BLJ In-situ Solutions was engaged to assist with the installation of new road signs on the Bruce Highway. The primary task involved torquing bolts on Variable Message Signs (VMS) splice plates to ensure they were installed securely and correctly. This work was essential to maintain the signage’s structural integrity and safety, providing real-time information to motorists.

To address the project requirements, BLJ deployed a team of skilled technicians to work night shift, minimising disruption to daytime traffic and ensuring the safety of both workers and motorists. The team utilised a Rad Gun 2500, a high-torque pneumatic tool known for its accuracy and efficiency, to achieve the precise torque specifications needed for the splice plates.

Key steps in our solution included:

• Conducting operations during night shifts to avoid daytime traffic disruptions.
• Ensuring all safety protocols, including proper lighting and high-visibility gear, were strictly followed.
• Utilising the Rad Gun 2500 to ensure precise and reliable torquing of each bolt on the VMS splice plates.

The project was completed successfully, with all VMS splice plates torqued to the required specifications and the new road signs securely installed. 

Proper torquing ensured the road signs were securely installed, reducing the risk of structural failures and enhancing safety for motorists.

Night shift operations minimised traffic disruptions and demonstrated BLJ’s commitment to operational efficiency and client convenience.

The skilled execution by BLJ’s technicians, combined with the use of advanced equipment like the Rad Gun 2500, ensured the highest standards of workmanship.
