Arcosa Traffic Structures

What Arcosa Traffic Structures does

Arcosa Traffic Structures (ATS) is a Sumterville, Florida-based structural steel fabricator serving the North American DOT and municipal infrastructure market. Founded around 2006 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE:ACA), within its Engineered Structures segment, ATS specializes in custom-engineered steel traffic structures for highway, tolling, and traffic-signal applications. Its six core product families are open-road electronic tolling gantries (accessible and non-accessible), Dynamic Message Sign (DMS/CMS) trusses in chorded and monotube designs, monotube trusses, tri-chord cantilevers, multi-sided mast arms, and trombone mast arms. ATS holds AISC/AWS Certified Fabricator status and is listed as an approved vendor across multiple state Departments of Transportation and municipal agencies, a credential that gates participation in public infrastructure procurement.

The underlying technology is conventional large-scale steel fabrication: welding, forming, powder-coating, and assembly of one-off structures engineered to agency specifications, with demonstrated capability on oversized spans such as a 260-foot, 65,000-pound tri-chord traffic signal truss delivered for the SR 520 project in Brevard County, Florida. ATS operates a project-based B2B sales model, winning work through direct engagement with DOTs, municipal traffic operations, and specialty contractors who hold infrastructure bids (e.g., PowerCore). Pricing is custom quote-driven per project, with multi-year contract cadences tied to public capital programs. Marketing and distribution run almost entirely through direct sales and the company website, supplemented by cross-promotion via parent Arcosa and sister company Ameron Pole Products. End markets are concentrated in U.S. roadway signing, tolling infrastructure, traffic-signal deployment, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) installations.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• PowerCorecoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 1 January 2020PowerCore, a specialty electrical contractor based in Melbourne, Florida, selected Arcosa Traffic Structures as their structural steel fabricator for the SR 520 at Sykes Creek Parkway traffic signal project in Brevard County. The partnership involved fabrication of a 260-foot, 65,000-pound powder-coated tri-chord traffic signal truss. ATS delivered the structure in nine sections (eight span sections plus two upright columns) with shipments arriving four weeks before installation. The two companies coordinated logistics and installation timing, with PowerCore crews assembling the structure and pre-cabling traffic signals before final installation.
