Building-Mounted Channel Letters
Letter sets fixed to tower fascias and upper floors at height.
Hi-Rise Installation
Hi-Rise Sign Installation in Florida
When the job is 100 feet up, experience matters. Highmark installs building-mounted, rooftop and tall pylon signage on commercial towers, hotels, hospitals and multi-storey buildings across Florida.
Hi-Rise Installation
Height changes everything about a sign install.
Specialised equipment, training and experience are not optional at elevation. Florida wind load requirements are among the most demanding in the country, and coastal locations require hurricane-force wind engineering before a sign is ever fabricated.
Permitting is heavier too: a standard sign permit plus structural engineering review, wind load certification and, in some jurisdictions, architectural approval.
Capabilities
Hi-Rise Sign Types We Install
Each of these needs a different combination of access method, rigging plan and electrical approach.
02
Rooftop Signs
Structures set and secured on the roofline of commercial buildings.
03
Tall Pylon Signs
Highway and interchange pylons where reach and rigging are the constraint.
04
Parking Garage Signage
Identification and wayfinding across multi-level parking structures.
05
Crane-Assisted Installations
Engineered rigging plans where a bucket truck cannot carry the load.
06
Rope Access Installations
SPRAT-certified technicians working from anchors on tight urban sites.
Why It Matters
The equipment decides what is possible.
Elliott bucket trucks give us working heights beyond 100 feet. Where the load or the geometry rules that out, we move to crane operations with engineered rigging plans, or to SPRAT-certified rope access systems when there is no ground room for a lift at all.
- ✓ Elliott bucket trucks with working heights over 100 feet
- ✓ Crane operations with engineered rigging plans
- ✓ SPRAT-certified rope access systems
- ✓ Full PPE and documented fall protection on every job
Process
How We Handle Hi-Rise Installations
More review up front, because there is no improvising at height.
01
Site & Access Survey
Structure, anchor points and how crews will physically reach the location.
02
Structural Engineering
Wind load certification to Florida and, where applicable, coastal code.
03
Permitting & Approvals
Sign permit plus structural review and any architectural approval.
04
Rigging & Access Plan
Bucket truck, crane or rope access selected and documented.
05
Installation
Executed by trained crews with full fall protection.
06
Inspection & Close-Out
Electrical and structural sign-off, then municipal final.
Common Questions
Questions, answered.
Anything not covered here, our team will walk you through scope, timing and cost.
How high can Highmark install signage?
Our Elliott bucket trucks provide working heights beyond 100 feet. Above that, or where there is no room to set a lift, we use crane operations with engineered rigging plans or SPRAT-certified rope access.
What buildings do you work on?
Commercial towers, hotels, hospitals, multi-storey office buildings, corporate headquarters, parking garages and highway interchange structures.
Why does hi-rise signage need extra engineering?
Florida wind load requirements are among the most demanding in the country, and coastal locations require hurricane-force wind engineering plus wind load certification as part of the permit package.
Which Florida markets do you cover for hi-rise work?
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Sarasota, Naples, Tallahassee and Pensacola.
