Flagpoles in Fort Wayne

The second city of Indiana, built where three rivers meet, running on manufacturing, insurance, hospitals and a heavy distribution belt. We cover Fort Wayne and the Allen County area, including the confluence of the St. Marys, St. Joseph and Maumee rivers, Headwaters Park and the downtown riverfront, the West Central and Lakeside neighbourhoods, Parkview Field and the Landing, the Air National Guard base at Fort Wayne International, and the I-69 and US 30 distribution corridors.

Wind here. Fort Wayne sits in a flat, inland and slow-draining 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. The ground east of the city is the drained bed of glacial Lake Maumee, the western tip of the Great Black Swamp: flat heavy clay with the water table close underneath, so a hole that stands open in central Indiana will take water out there and the pour has to be planned around it. In the middle of the city the St. Marys and the St. Joseph meet to make the Maumee, the 1982 flood is why the levees and Headwaters Park sit where they do, and anything inside the mapped floodway needs state approval on top of the city permit. West Central and the other local historic districts go to the preservation commission before a permit follows. Out on the I-69 and US 30 distribution corridors nothing stands upwind for miles, so those are sized as exposed sites rather than suburban ones.

Most of the people who call us from Fort Wayne are manufacturers and distribution buildings, hospitals and medical offices, insurance and professional offices downtown, schools and university buildings, churches, veterans posts and municipal facilities.
