Projects and Clients

FSG Signs installed the "AT&T Stadium" letters on top of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. AT&T Stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys. The signage includes two sets of 43-foot-tall letters stretching 385 feet. The letters are made of lightweight components and aluminum and are insulated and heated to melt ice and snow. They have 36,000 LED lights using 52 amps of power, or the amount used by 144 100-watt light bulbs. FSG also worked with a national coffee retailer to upgrade lighting to LED fixtures in 9300 locations, in less than 9 months. ^[4] FSG Smart Buildings clients include Circle K, Walgreens and Verizon. FSG has completed several projects in conjunction with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at Newark Liberty International Airport, including an advanced lighting system upgrade and replacement of the HVAC chillers in the airport’s three terminals. Following Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, FSG provided backup generation and services to school districts, hotels, municipal complexes and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters in Garden City, Long Island, New York. FSG implemented the largest North American deployment of networked submeters throughout Simon Property Group’s more than 100 shopping malls. The submeters were integrated into an existing energy management system.
