A landmark sign for Troitsk town in Moscow, where a large steel orb stands in for the letter O in the town name.
Project Details
- Location
- Troitsk, Moscow, Russia
- Product range

Customer Pain Points
- The sphere had to match the scale and weight of the surrounding letters
- Installation as part of a lettering structure, not as a standalone object

Our Solution
A ∅1500mm large steel orb was made to replace the letter O in the town landmark lettering.
Manufacturing Process
The orb was formed and finished to sit within the letter structure.
Supply Chain Coordination
Delivered to site for installation with the rest of the lettering.
Quality Control
Incoming material
Alloy and sheet thickness are checked against the order before any blank is cut.
Forming check
Diameter and wall are measured after pressing, spinning or water pressuring.
Weld and grind
The equator weld is inspected, then welds and burrs are ground off before finishing.
Surface inspection
Every piece is inspected for scratches, dents and polish consistency under light.
Packing
Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight, and photographs are sent before dispatch.
Final Result
The ∅1500mm orb forms the landmark signage for Troitsk town in Moscow.
Customer Benefit
