Outdoor LED Train-in-Motion
RELIABLE OPERATION. SAFE MAINTENANCE.
The ALERTNOW! Provides rail yards with a safer, easily-maintained fixed and dynamic LED Train in Motion Alerting Signs.
DELIVERING YOUR CONCEPT FROM START TO FINISH
US3 has worked on many Train in Motion (TIMs) projects over the years. Some of those projects have been new installations, while others have been renovation projects. Many designers and construction managers rely on us for integrated systems that both save money and meet the needs of rail yards that indicate Train in Motion.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING US3 DESIGN BUILD SERVICES?
We oversee design, manufacturing, and installation, ensuring consistent project management.
You don’t have to contract out project management or be the middleman between design and construction.
DEDICATED & EXPERIENCED
Our dedicated and experienced personnel focus exclusively on the project at hand. Your project won’t be slowed down by common mistakes by inexperienced or understaffed management.
FASTER PROCESS
Streamlined project planning results in a faster process from concept to installation, so your completed project generates income sooner.
CUSTOM DESIGN
Design engineers collaborate with customers to find the right fit for every venue by providing shop drawings, structure analysis, and control room analysis.
WHAT IS THE DESIGN BUILD PROCESS?
1. Visioning
We will first work with you to understand and develop the parameters of the project, including style, structural analysis, and preliminary budget discussions.
Port of Long Beach: Working together with the Port’s vision, US3 prepared a few designs and received direction to create a standard design that meets all Caltrans requirements.
2. Conceptual Design
After understanding the vision of the project, our design team will come up with multiple designs for either direct control or wireless.
3. Preliminary Drawings & Budget Check
We will create preliminary shop drawings to focus discussions towards product options and a budget review to make sure costs are kept in check when brainstorming ideas.

4. Detailed Shop Drawings
Once a final design is chosen, our engineers will create shop drawings to ensure they meet the structural guidelines and your approval to progress the project, after which finalized pricing and a project schedule can be determined.
5. Installation Drawings
Once construction drawings are approved, we create detailed shop drawings that are designed for installation and manufacturing.
6. Manufacturing
Your display will be manufactured and assembled in the same factory from the component level to final product, ready for a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
7. Installation
Our experienced US3 employees will staff our project management, installation, and field service teams at your site through the duration of installation.
8. Commissioning
To ensure the display is installed correctly and all of your expectations are met, our commissioning team follows methodical testing procedures with established checklists and customer sign-offs.
