Fabrication

Ever poured a cantilever foundation?  Summit Signal, Inc. has poured over 25.  Danny and Pete have innovative and creative ways of making their jobs more efficient by developing their own specialized railroad industry tools and have even patented some of their ideas.  The 4-, 6-, and 8-Bolt Cantilever Foundation Forms with Vibrators (patented) make pouring and finishing concrete foundations exact, effective, and efficient.

Other tools made by Pete and Danny include 8 inch wide cribbing buckets to dig between tracks, aluminum cable-pulling tripods, and steel cable pulling forms. Danny and Pete customize tools based on necessity. For example, 2 steel forms for signal houses were made; one to hoist the house without breaking the roof, the other to place the 6 signal house foundations in proper measurements until no longer needed.
