Flagpoles in Aurora

Colorado's third city, spread over more than 150 square miles of open plain east of Denver, with a medical campus and a space base at the centre of it. We cover Aurora and the Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties area, including the Anschutz Medical Campus and Fitzsimons, Buckley Space Force Base, the Havana Street corridor, Stanley Marketplace, Southlands, the Aurora Highlands and the I-225 and E-470 corridors.

Wind here. Aurora sits in an open plains suburban area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Aurora sizes to about 115 mph, the same as Denver, and the number is the easy part. The exposure is not. East of Buckley the city runs out onto open plain with nothing upwind of it for miles, so those addresses are sized for open terrain whatever the map says. Aurora also reaches into three counties — Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas — so we ask for the street rather than the town, because the county decides whose rules the permit runs under and the three do not review at the same pace. The ground is the same swelling clay as the rest of the basin, and that sets the depth of the hole rather than the wind. Buckley is a secured base, so access, escort and the shape of the working day are settled before anything is delivered.

Most of the people who call us from Aurora are hospital and research buildings, defence and aerospace offices, school district facilities, hotels, distribution buildings, churches and community associations.
