Flagpoles in Dayton

An aerospace and engineering town: an air force base and its contractors on one side, a hospital and university base in the middle, and a river valley of levees running through all of it. We cover Dayton and the Montgomery County area, including the Oregon District and downtown, RiverScape and the Great Miami levees, the University of Dayton, Sinclair Community College, Carillon Park, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the National Museum of the United States Air Force, and the Austin Landing corridor to the south.

Wind here. Dayton sits in an inland, flat and leveed 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. Two things shape a Dayton job, and both of them sit on the ground rather than in the air. The first is the flood works. The Miami Conservancy District was set up after the 1913 flood and has held this valley ever since with five dry dams and about fifty-five miles of levee. It owns a great deal of the riverfront ground and holds easements and building restrictions over more of it, so on that ground the district's permission comes before the city is asked at all. The second is review: the Dayton Landmarks Commission approves exterior work in the city's historic districts, and the Oregon District is the one that catches people out. Away from the river the ground is buried-valley sand and gravel, which augers easily and then will not hold its own sides, so the hole gets formed rather than simply dug. Work on the base and for the contractors around it runs through the base's own submittal route, so allow for drawings and product data ahead of the order.

Most of the people who call us from Dayton are defence and aerospace contractors, hospital and university buildings, engineering and professional offices, school districts, veterans organisations, municipal buildings and manufacturers.
