Make Your Mark with Personalized Castings from Bass & Hays
Your infrastructure is a long-term investment in your community. Bass & Hays offers custom branding solutions that allow you to permanently mark your American-made manhole, watertight and storm inlet covers, meter box, valve box and cleanout covers, or other castings or products with your unique identity. Whether it’s municipal logos, utility designations, or unique identification marks, our personalized products enhance community pride, streamline asset tracking, and establish clear ownership. If it needs a unique mark, we can make it happen. Please note that branding may involve additional pattern and related fees.
What is Custom Branding?
Custom branding involves casting unique lettering, names, and logos directly into the surface of iron and steel products. Instead of a generic casting, your infrastructure assets can carry your city’s seal, utility department name, or a specific identifier. This process creates a durable, highly visible, and permanent brand that becomes an integral part of the product itself, lasting for the entire service life of the casting.
Your Vision, Cast in Iron: Our Customization Options
We provide a range of personalization options to meet your specific branding needs. Our team works with you to turn your design into a high-quality, permanent mark on your infrastructure components.
- Custom Logos: Feature your city, county, or utility district’s official logo or seal. This is a powerful way to reinforce community identity and pride on public infrastructure.
- Special Lettering & Custom Names: Clearly identify ownership by casting the name of your municipality or utility (e.g., “City of Austin Water,” “Springfield Sanitary Sewer”).
- Uniquely Branded Identification: Designate the specific purpose of an asset with clear, permanent lettering such as “Storm Drain,” “Reclaimed Water,” or “Fiber Optic,” reducing confusion and improving maintenance efficiency.
The Benefits of Personalized Identification Products
Branding your castings offers significant advantages beyond simple aesthetics. It’s a smart, strategic choice for effective asset management and security.
- Enhanced Community Identity: Custom logos and names transform standard infrastructure into a visible symbol of civic pride and investment.
- Improved Asset Management: Clearly marked assets for different utilities (water, sewer, storm) prevent cross-contamination and streamline inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
- Theft Deterrence: Castings that are clearly marked with a municipality or utility’s name are significantly less attractive to thieves, reducing the costs and service disruptions associated with replacement.
- Clear Ownership & Liability: Permanent identification leaves no doubt as to which entity owns and is responsible for a particular piece of infrastructure.
