Flagpoles in Idaho Falls

A federal research economy sitting on farm ground, with laboratory and contractor offices, a regional hospital and the retail centre for the whole eastern side of the state. We cover Idaho Falls and the Bonneville County area, including the falls and the Snake River greenbelt, downtown on the east bank, the Idaho National Laboratory research campus, Idaho Falls Regional Airport, the Museum of Idaho, Tautphaus Park and the Mountain America Center.

Wind here. Idaho Falls sits in a high, cold and wide open 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. Idaho Falls publishes its own criteria sheet and it is the most demanding of the five towns on this page. The ultimate design wind speed is 115 mph in open exposure, with a second figure printed beside it at 90 mph; that is the same wind converted for a different calculation, which is why two numbers can both be right. Footings go 30 inches down here, six inches deeper than the south of the state. The ground snow load is worked from the University of Idaho snow load manual and comes out at 47 pounds a square foot at the city's 4,710 ft, against the 30 pound roof minimum the city has held to for years. The seismic design category is D, a real design case rather than a formality, so the base under a tall pole here is not the base that would pass in the Treasure Valley. On an Idaho Falls quote the concrete moves more than the shaft does.

Most of the people who call us from Idaho Falls are research and engineering offices, hospitals and clinics, school district buildings, churches, veterans posts, farm and equipment businesses, hotels, and city and county facilities.
