Flagpoles in Newark

The largest city in the state: a port, an airport, universities and a downtown of offices and institutions. We cover Newark and the Essex County, New Jersey area, including the Four Corners and James Street Commons historic districts, Military Park Commons, Branch Brook Park, the Ironbound, Rutgers-Newark and NJIT, Port Newark and the airport district.

Wind here. Newark sits in an urban with harbour frontage 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. Downtown Newark is a channelling problem more than a wind-map problem. Between the towers on Broad and Market the wind at street level does things the published figure does not describe, so we size conservatively and look hard at the fly zone before picking a spot. Work inside Four Corners, James Street Commons or Military Park Commons needs a certificate of appropriateness from the Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission, and that comes before the construction permit rather than after it. Ground near the Passaic and out toward the port is made ground, and downtown sites often sit over structured parking, so the foundation gets designed rather than augered.

Most of the people who call us from Newark are downtown offices and hotels, university and school buildings, port and logistics operations, hospitals, city facilities, churches and veterans posts.
