The moment of setting the pole in place

<< Back to archives | Friday, March 21, 2008

The base of the steel flagpole is guided into the steel casing that is set into a huge block of concete.  Mike Hammes, on the right, and his crew set the pole 10 feet down into the concrete base.  The metal tube was then packed with fine gravel and a thick concrete top was poured in place.  Quite the operation.
