Century Group Manufactures Precast Concrete VPP STAR Signs

Century Group Inc. had the privilege of being able to manufacture and deliver OSHA – Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) STAR signs to the Phillips66- Lake Charles Manufacturing Complex. The project included Century Group's 7'x7' VPP STAR signs that were custom designed and installed on both sides of the Phillips66 main corporate sign. A double sided STAR sign was delivered and placed at the facility's Coke Gate and featured a custom precast sign base and protective concrete curbs placed around the sign base.

A third precast concrete VPP STAR sign was placed at the Excel Paralubes entrance gate. This sign was a special uniquely designed and manufactured unit to be a one-sided self standing sign to fit appropriately against a brick wall at the entrance. In discussions with Phillips66 management comments were shared as to how the Century Group can design, manipulate and reshape pre-cast concrete to create custom sizing and shapes to accommodate each and every application called for and or requested by the customer.

Century Group's Precast Marketing Director, Johnny Bergeron commented, "It was a privilege to be able to work with the Phillips66 VPP STAR team in the planning, design, and delivery of the precast concrete VPP STAR signs. We applaud the Phillips66-Lake Charles Manufacturing Complex management and labor workforce in working together as a team to accomplish the Voluntary Protection (VPP) STAR award. This shows the commitment of all employees to safety excellence.”
