Flagpoles in Omaha

The state's largest city and its commercial centre: four Fortune 500 headquarters, a teaching hospital campus, freight rail and a rebuilt riverfront. We cover Omaha and the Douglas County area, including downtown and the Old Market, the riverfront and Gene Leahy Mall, Midtown Crossing, Aksarben Village, the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus, Creighton University, Eppley Airfield and the West Dodge corridor.

Wind here. Omaha sits in an urban, loess-bluff 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. Omaha is built on loess, the wind-blown silt banked deep along the Missouri. Dry, it stands up almost like rock; wet, it loses most of its grip, so on the bluff streets, and anywhere roof or street water runs past a base, we settle where the water goes before we settle the footing. The Old Market has been a designated Omaha landmark since January 1985, and anything put up inside a landmark district goes in front of the Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission, which takes as much interest in the street as in the buildings behind it. The mapped speed is about 110 mph. That is moderate, and it says nothing about a June gust front and nothing about the open corporate ground out along West Dodge, which we size as exposed.

Most of the people who call us from Omaha are corporate headquarters and office campuses, hospitals and medical research buildings, universities and school districts, hotels, churches, veterans posts and county and city facilities.
