The results speak for themselves! Last week’s project in Portland, Maine showcased a swift and successful job completed in a picturesque setting.
“The new school zone flashers are in an(d) operating at the Center of Excellence on Andover Road in Portland. The signals look nice and the crew was polite, safe, and professional during the installation. Thank You!”
Our sincere thanks to you for giving Frazier Signal Technologies the opportunity to contribute to this project.
We are hopeful that Thursday marked the final snowfall of the 2023-2024 winter season!
Frazier Signal Technologies managed to squeeze in several days of work on the temporary traffic control system in Medway for the Route 157 Bridge. Traffic signals have been set up and connections are currently being established. Despite the 7 inches of snow that melted over the weekend, we are still on track for the power-up on April 15th.
Additionally, we completed several smaller projects, including replacing school zone speed limit signs at the Dawn F. Barnes Elementary School located in Caswell ME, installing 35ft utility poles at Bangor Community Gardens on Essex Street, and completing a 2-day IMSA Work Zone training session in Lebanon NH.
On a different note, we’re eagerly anticipating the eclipse! Thank you Lynn for the day off!
Temporary Signal Installation
The weather didn’t cooperate as expected for our temporary signal project in Medway Maine. Just when we thought winter was over, Mother Nature surprised us with another 20 inches of snow at the job site!
The project in Medway involves installing a temporary hardwired signal system with a single-point controller, housed in a NEMA cabinet. It includes detection from all directions using six 35-foot poles and eight signal heads. This setup aims to maintain consistent traffic flow while New England Infrastructure replaces the decking of the Route 157 overpass.
Today we focused on installing guy wires to support the poles before installing the signals. Despite the snow, we are on track to complete the project and have it operational by April 15th.
Frazier Signal Technologies is proud to announce our first successful bid of 2024 with the Maine Department of Transportation in Houlton Maine! Our winning bid of $601,512.50 was accepted with an anticipated start date of this summer and a completion date of June 2025.
The Houlton Project involves revising the Route 1 and Route 2 intersection where we will upgrade the existing span wire and poles to mast poles and mast arms. Additionally, a new traffic cabinet equipped with a state-of-the-art detection system complemented with new traffic signal heads will be installed. This is a much-needed upgrade for the Route 1 and Route 2 junction.
We are looking forward to engaging with the Houlton community and forging new partnerships as we continue to expand our network through these exciting projects.
Hats off to the hardworking crew at Frazier Signal Technologies! Yesterday was a hands-on triumph as we hoisted and mounted two out of the three 35-foot traffic mast arms for the Old Town signal project. Massive shoutout to Brad Perry, Andrew Carter, Jeff Lapointe, Jon Shaw, and Megan Rich – your sweat and grit made it happen!
When you’ve got a team that knows the ropes, you get the job done right!
Lynn Frazier orchestrated this like a boss – well done team!
Last Friday, the Old Town traffic mast arm poles arrived at our shop from Oklahoma, and tuesday marked the beginning of Frazier Signal Technologies setting them in place!
In the downtown area, a total of seven mast arm poles are being installed on foundations. The one near the beloved local restaurant Kanu stands at a height of 30 feet.
We had most of the Frazier Signal Technologies team on-site to partake in the installation.
Special thanks to Art House for the well-timed coffee!
Frazier Signal Technologies has devoted a few days to preparing Old Town’s traffic mast arms. Our tasks involved mounting and wiring traffic signals and signage onto these mast arms for efficient installation.
The recently installed 30ft high mast poles require seven mast arms, three measuring 35ft in length! Handling the movement of these 35ft arms in and out of the shop has been quite an experience.
Special thanks to Jeff Lapointe and Jon Shaw for their expertise in the in-house setup!
They’re specifically wired to light up only when the pedestrian crossing “walk” is active. What a great way to keep kids safe walking to school! Especially in areas like this one where vehicles running red lights are an issue.
Out with the old and in with the new! Our team worked through the night on this double signal head replacement. This was a high-traffic area and the job needed to be done in the night hours while traffic was light. We were able to make it happen by keeping the intersection live to help maintain traffic operations while working.
Meet our earthworks crew! This week we are setting the posts for school zone speed signing – critical intelligent transportation systems (ITS) components.
