Flagpoles in Owensboro

The commercial centre of western Kentucky: a regional hospital system, mortgage and back-office employment, bourbon and food manufacturing, and a rebuilt mile of Ohio River waterfront. We cover Owensboro and the Daviess County area, including the riverfront and Smothers Park, the Owensboro Convention Center, downtown and the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Brescia University and Kentucky Wesleyan College, the hospital campus, the distilleries and the US 60 corridor.

Wind here. Owensboro sits in an inland but river-exposed 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. The river is the wind condition here. Owensboro fronts a wide, straight reach of the Ohio with Indiana farmland on the far bank, so a riverfront site has nothing at all upwind of it and gets sized as fully exposed rather than as the town-centre job it looks like. The ground is a different story from the rest of this page. Daviess County sits in the Western Coal Field, where the bedrock is sandstone and shale instead of limestone, so the sinkhole question that governs Bowling Green does not arise. What you get near the water instead is river-laid silt and sand, and soft ground needs a wider footing than rock does to hold the same pole. Out in the county the exposure problem simply repeats itself over open farm ground, and grain and equipment operations are sized the way the riverfront is.

Most of the people who call us from Owensboro are hospital and medical buildings, college and school campuses, distilleries and food plants, city and county facilities, riverfront hotels and event venues, banks, churches and veterans posts.
