Fusion Tech Creates a Great Tribute
Here at Fusion Tech, there isn’t much we can’t do. From plant redesigns to custom memorial markers, our team can design, fabricate, and install any of your metal needs.
Recently, we were honored to craft the parts for a sculpture for an urban renewal and memorial green space located on West Jackson Street in Macomb, Illinois. The sculpture is titled ‘American Classic’ and is a tribute to the working class residents of Macomb. It references the railroad and the city of Macomb, and its economic impact in Macomb.
The work is 15-feet high and composed of both stainless steel and weathering steel, which has a rust-like finish. We provided the steel for the sculpture and a steel replica of the Rotary wheel as a marker in the green space.
Macomb Rotarian Bruce Biagini, one of the leads on the project, had this to say:
Fusion Tech worked with us not only to do the cutting and the making of it happen, but they also worked with us on keeping the cost within our ability to do it. I don’t know who else you get to cut steel that thick, other than somebody in Roseville.
It’s a great honor whenever we provide parts for or craft an entire sculpture for any kind of memorial. We apply the same level of quality and turnaround for our memorial projects as we do for fabricating products and machinery for a manufacturing layout.
