Flagpoles in Springfield

The commercial centre of southwest Missouri, with two large hospital systems, three universities and national headquarters offices behind a long run of highway frontage. We cover Springfield and the Greene County area, including Missouri State University, Drury and Evangel, the Commercial Street historic district, Park Central Square and downtown, the Cox and Mercy hospital campuses, Battlefield Mall and the Glenstone Avenue and Route 66 corridors.

Wind here. Springfield sits in an inland, Ozark plateau karst 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. Springfield sits on cave country and the city regulates it directly. A sinkhole permit is required for work in a sinkhole area under the stormwater ordinance, and the public works director can set a sinkhole-related non-buildable area, inside which no building, parking area, grading or structure is allowed at all. Check that first rather than last, because it can rule out the exact spot you had in mind instead of simply costing more to dig. Away from the sinkholes the ground is cherty limestone with rock often close under it, so a footing is as likely to be cut as augered. Exterior work on Commercial Street goes to the Landmarks Board, and the long commercial frontages out along Glenstone and Battlefield sit on flat, open ground, which is a rougher place for a shaft than the mapped number implies.

Most of the people who call us from Springfield are hospital and clinic buildings, university and school campuses, corporate headquarters offices, car dealerships and highway frontage, churches, banks, veterans posts and municipal facilities.
