Public Art
Sculptural commissions engineered for public space.
We fabricate public art commissions from full-scale printed matter — sculptural forms engineered for weathering, vandalism resistance, public safety and long service life. We coordinate with artists, commissioning agencies and structural engineers from concept through installation.
Applications
- Public plaza and streetscape sculpture
- Waterfront and park commissions
- Corporate campus and civic monuments
- Temporary and touring installations
How We Engage
- Weathering, UV and coating strategy per site exposure
- Anchor and foundation engineering coordinated with civil / structural
- Public safety review — sharp edge, climbable surface and impact scenarios
Outcomes
- Sculptural forms at civic scale without conventional armature
- A single fabricator responsible from artist file to installed piece
- Documentation package for the agency's public art registry
Common questions
What we're asked.
- Do you work with commissioning artists?
- Yes — we fabricate under the artist's authorship and coordinate the engineering, permits and installation.
- How long do public installations last?
- Service life is engineered per project and material family — typical ranges are 15 to 50+ years with a defined coating schedule.
- Can you handle permitting?
- We coordinate the structural, wind-load and anchor documentation the local authority requires; the commissioning agency typically leads permitting.
