Flagpoles in Riverside

The county seat and civic centre of the Inland Empire, with a university, a community college district, a historic downtown and an air reserve base on its edge. We cover Riverside and the Riverside County area, including downtown and the Mission Inn, the Riverside County administrative campus, the Main Street pedestrian mall, UC Riverside, Riverside City College, Mount Rubidoux, Fairmount Park, La Sierra and the March Air Reserve Base approaches.

Wind here. Riverside sits in a dry, dust-blown inland area, which works out to roughly 95 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 mapped figure is a design basis, not a description of an October easterly. Santa Ana wind comes down the passes into the Inland Empire dry, dusty and hard on a flag, so an open lot out toward March or the eastern edge of the county gets sized for open ground rather than for the sheltered case, and grit is why we push anodized shafts and stainless fittings instead of plated ones. Further east the map stops giving a figure at all and marks the mountain passes as a special wind region, where the local jurisdiction sets the number; if the address is out that way, say so and it gets looked up rather than read off a contour. Underneath, the ground runs from expansive clay in places to decomposed granite in others, and the two want different footings. Hospital work goes to HCAI rather than to the city, so an institutional pole here is a state submittal before it is ever a local one.

Most of the people who call us from Riverside are county and city buildings, school and community college campuses, hospitals and medical offices, defence contractors near the air reserve base, churches, distribution centres and downtown commercial frontage.
