Century Group
Manufactures precast concrete sign for the Devall Group in Sulphur, Louisiana
The Devall Group located in Sulphur, Louisiana called the Century Group Inc., Precast Division requesting a new sign that would be different and significant for the front of their new world headquarter offices.
A sign that would last and one that would be strong enough to withstand hurricane force winds, since their last composition of signs, made of wood and plastic, were no longer in place and no match for Hurricane Rita that hit with winds and gusts up to 115 miles an hour.
With major locations of The Devall Group being located within the coastal range of the
Gulf of Mexico and since Century Group Inc. specializes in precast concrete and builds signs that will "last a century”, the Devall Group indicated that Century Group had exactly what they wanted.
After working with the Century Group design team, a draft was completed and approved by Mr. Mike Devall and his partners to have a special piece of history for his corporation having a unique Century precast concrete signin front of the new offices.
The new Century precast concrete sign selected by the Devall Group was a multi-colored unit with dimensional layered design which gave the type face depth with divisional logo's separated to show the various divisions within the Devall Corporation.
Signs made at Century Group are built to withstand and resist high winds such as a hurricane and the fact they will never have to be replaced under normal conditions.
Mr. Devall was quoted to say upon delivery, "This was one of the most attractive signs I have ever seen to show off the new corporate offices, not to mention the sleekness and beauty it offered even though it was constructed out of precast concrete.”
