ABC^® Accutrack Engineering software is intended to be used by sign professionals to establish conservative budgetary specifications for sign support structures.  It is a valuable tool used during the pre-sale process to determine requirements for foundations, support column sizes, plate thicknesses and bolt sizes in compliance with design parameters established in IBC 2015 and ASCE 7-10.  ABC^® Accutrack Engineering is not intended, and should not be used, to take the place of a certified professional engineer’s review which is generally required for sign permiting. ABC^® Sign Products recommends a professional engineering review and stamp on drawings for sign structures prior to permit application by any/all sign contractors, and shall be held harmless for failure of the sign professional to do so, or for inappropriate use of this software.
