Flagpoles in Los Angeles

Studios, logistics, health care and a tower downtown, spread across dozens of separate business districts rather than one centre. We cover Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County area, including downtown and Bunker Hill, the Civic Center, Hollywood and the studio lots, Koreatown, Century City, Westwood and UCLA, USC and Exposition Park, the Arts District, the Wilshire corridor and San Pedro and the Port of Los Angeles.

Wind here. Los Angeles sits in a low-wind, high-seismic urban area, which works out to roughly 95 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 bottom of the pole is the whole job in Los Angeles. This is the heaviest ground shaking of any city we cover, so the footing, the anchor bolts and the reinforcement around them are what get designed and what get checked; the shaft above them is ordinary. LADBS plan check is the other half of it, and it runs slower than most of the country, so start that before you settle on a date. If the property sits in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, the HPOZ board reviews what can be seen from the pavement, and that approval comes before the permit rather than after it. Downtown and Century City sites usually sit over structured parking, which means the footing has to be worked out against the structure underneath instead of dug into ground.

Most of the people who call us from Los Angeles are city and county buildings, school and university campuses, hospitals and medical offices, studios and production facilities, hotels, places of worship and industrial frontage out toward the harbour.
