Flagpoles in Evansville

The business centre of southwestern Indiana, wrapped around a bend in the Ohio, with manufacturing, two universities and a large hospital base. We cover Evansville and the Vanderburgh County area, including the downtown riverfront and Dress Plaza, the Riverside and Haynie's Corner districts, the University of Evansville, the University of Southern Indiana, the Lloyd Expressway corridor and the Ohio River terminals.

Wind here. Evansville sits in a low-lying, inland and riverine 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. Evansville sits inside a bend of the Ohio, and the 1937 flood is the reason for the levees and the concrete floodwall along the front of it. Indiana treats a floodway as a state matter rather than a city one: the construction in a floodway permit comes from the Department of Natural Resources under the state Flood Control Act, and the city will not issue a building permit ahead of it, so a riverside pole is two approvals and a longer calendar. The valley floor is not the stiff till that carries the middle of the state either. It is alluvium and outwash, deep sand and gravel under a silt cap, so the same pole takes a wider footing here than it would in Indianapolis, and it has to be compacted properly around. In the local historic districts the preservation commission looks at the exterior work first. This is also the far corner of the state from us, so we settle the site details on the phone and in photographs before anybody sets off.

Most of the people who call us from Evansville are manufacturers and river terminal operations, hospitals and medical offices, the two university campuses and the school buildings, downtown offices and hotels, churches, funeral homes, veterans posts and city and county facilities.
