Flagpoles in Peoria

A medical, manufacturing and university city built up a bluff above the Illinois River, with the hospital systems now among the largest employers in it. We cover Peoria and the Peoria County area, including the riverfront and Peoria Lake, Grand View Drive, the West Bluff, Bradley University, the medical campuses, the Warehouse District and the Knoxville Avenue and Randolph-Roanoke neighbourhoods.

Wind here. Peoria sits in an inland, bluff-exposed area, which works out to roughly 105 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. Peoria is two levels and they do not behave alike. Down in the valley the river frontage has nothing on the far side of it, so those addresses are treated as open. Up on the bluff along Grand View Drive and through the West Bluff the ground falls away in front of the building, and a pole on that edge takes whatever comes up out of the valley, so we work from where the site actually sits and not from a figure for the city as a whole. The city publishes its own design criteria and puts the footing at 36 inches below grade, so that part of the quote is known before we arrive. Slope is the rest of it, and on a graded bluff lot the footing is drawn for the ground it stands in.

Most of the people who call us from Peoria are hospitals and medical offices, equipment and manufacturing plants, university and school buildings, city and county facilities, churches, veterans posts and riverfront commercial frontage.
