Project: MSU Spartan Stadium

Michigan State University installed three new electronic signs at Spartan Stadium just prior to the 2012 football season.  The signs, rated as the fifth largest in the country, and the related support structure was huge, heavy, and high.  This created the problem of supporting the signs from sinking and from blowing over in strong winds because of the huge wind resistance factors.  Helical piers were installed in a highly designed pattern to be able to absorb the wind forces from all directions.  Several piers were field tested to assure performance.  They passed the tests flawlessly and are now fully loaded and in full operation, touting Spartan Football.
