Flagpoles in Tucson

A university, hospital and defence city with mountain ranges on every side of it, a low wide downtown, and a large public-sector base behind both. We cover Tucson and the Pima County area, including downtown and Congress Street, the University of Arizona campus, Barrio Viejo, Armory Park and El Presidio, Fourth Avenue and the Rio Nuevo district, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the east-side hospital campuses.

Wind here. Tucson sits in a monsoon-driven upper Sonoran 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. The monsoon is the Tucson design case. A microburst is a thunderstorm downdraft that falls to the ground and spreads out sideways from where it lands, and Tucson gets them between the middle of June and the end of September. They are short, local and violent, and no annual figure carries any of that, so the sizing here is done on exposure and hardware rather than off the map. Review is the other Tucson constraint. The city runs several Historic Preservation Zones, Barrio Viejo, Armory Park and El Presidio among them, and exterior work inside one goes through design review even where no building permit is needed. Underneath all of it is caliche, a scatter of lumps on one lot and a solid layer on the next, so we would rather look at the ground than price a hole off a drawing.

Most of the people who call us from Tucson are university and hospital buildings, defence and aerospace facilities, school district and community college campuses, churches, downtown offices and hotels, veterans posts and county buildings.
