Flagpoles in Minot

A rail and trade city in the Souris River valley, with a strategic air base north of town and a university and the state fairgrounds inside it. We cover Minot and the Ward County area, including Minot Air Force Base, downtown Minot and the Souris River floodwalls, Minot State University, the North Dakota State Fair Center, Main Street and the Broadway corridor, Dakota Square, Roosevelt Park and the hills north and south of the valley.

Wind here. Minot sits in a coulee-cut and unevenly sheltered 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. Minot is two sites in one. The old city sits on the floor of the Souris valley, where the coulee walls give real shelter, and the newer building is up on the hills north and south of it, where nothing stands upwind at all. Those two get sized differently, so tell us which one you are on. Work downtown now runs alongside the levees and floodwalls going in after the 2011 flood, and access along that line wants settling before a truck is booked. For the winter, the city's own numbers are the useful ones: ground snow around Minot runs 50 to 60 pounds per square foot, and Minot requires at least 30 pounds per square foot of roof snow load on an ordinary house. That is a fair measure of what stands outside here from November on, and it is why nothing plated goes on a Ward County pole. The base is thirteen miles north, B-52s and Minuteman III, and work on it is a submittal job with the lead time to match.

Most of the people who call us from Minot are base contractors and defence suppliers, city and county buildings, university and school facilities, hospitals and clinics, farm and equipment dealerships, banks, churches and veterans posts.
