Flagpoles in Kansas City

Rail, river and heavy industry on the Kansas side of the state line, with a speedway, a stadium and an outlet district grown up out where the county meets the interstate. We cover Kansas City and the Wyandotte County area, including the Fairfax and Armourdale industrial districts, the Argentine rail yards, Kaw Point where the two rivers meet, Strawberry Hill, the University of Kansas Medical Center at Rosedale, Kansas City Kansas Community College, and Village West with the Legends, the speedway and the stadium.

Wind here. Kansas City sits in a low-lying and industrial area, which works out to roughly 110 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. City and county are one government here, so the zoning, the permit and the inspection all sit with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas rather than being split across two counters. Where the pole stands matters more than usual, because the working half of the city is river bottom: Fairfax, Armourdale, Argentine and the Central Industrial District all lie behind levees on the Kansas and Missouri rivers. That is soft ground with water close beneath it, so a footing down there is deeper and broader than the same pole would take up on the bluff. At Strawberry Hill and Rosedale it runs the other way, limestone and shale near the surface and a hole that has to be cut rather than drilled. Rail yard and plant frontage has nothing standing between it and the weather, so those addresses are worked out on the open-country assumption rather than the suburban one.

Most of the people who call us from Kansas City are manufacturing and warehouse buildings, rail and freight operations, hospital and clinic buildings, union halls, schools, churches, veterans posts and Unified Government facilities.
