May 31, 2018 – Kennesaw, GA – Direct Metals, an international steel service center with locations in Kennesaw, GA and Waukegan, IL, provided specialty metal products for the University of Texas El Paso Monument in El Paso, Texas.
Direct Metals provided 17 pieces of custom carbon steel perforated metal plates. These plates were complete with 1/2" diameter holes on 11/16" staggered centers. The pickax sculpture is set on a steel and concrete base.
This massive and much-anticipated “Buried Pick” Monument is 40 feet tall, 25 feet long, and 12 feet wide. The letters on the monument, U-T-E-P, are 3-1/2 feet tall and set in both sides of the ax handle.
The giant art piece is adjacent to the University’s S-3 parking lot, for students and visitors to enjoy as they enter campus. The statue not only stands out during the day, as the perforated letters can be seen illuminated in blue at night.
