Unique Services & Applications (USA) restored an old, rusty, non-working outrigger style flagpole for the Salvation Army. USA gained access to the site and secured a fully extended 40' ladder to the outrigger flagpole mounted on the building 40' high.

In this project, Unique Services and Applications (USA) installed a 100' steel flagpole from start to finish in just 4 days with two men. On arrival, we dug a 12' deep hole to support the massive 6500 Lb. flagpole. Once the hole was dug we dropped in the 10' steel foundation sleeve and custom made a large concrete base that will support the flagpoles flash collar as well as a monument that the speedway is to provide. The following day we poured several yards of concrete around the foundation sleeve, filled in the concrete base, and smoothed and finished all the concrete.

In this restoration we completely sanded and scraped this 45' flagpole then applied a heavy duty oil-based white primer, then several days later returned and 

In these photos, we completely restored a rusty 100’ flagpole at Bethel Park High School stadium. Located in Bethel Park, PA. We first sanded the flagpole then applied a full coat of rusty red metal oil based primer. A few days later we returned and applied a full coat of oil based aluminum paint to the flagpole. In addition, we replaced the lanyard with solid braided nylon rope and stainless steel snaps and snap covers.

We removed the flagpoles and flagpole bases from the courtyard of the courthouse and cleaned them with an acid-based cleaner to bring them back to their original finish. We then re-installed the flagpoles to their original positions on the wall. Next, we installed a new hardware including solid braided nylon rope, stainless steel snaps, gold ball, aluminum truck system, non-tangle rods, cleats, lock boxes, and new flags. 

This project was located in Butler PA and we were working for Newbury Development at an Apartment complex on N. Main St. 
We installed a 35’ internal halyard, Sentry model flagpole. You can see from the photos that we marked the area, dug the foundation, poured and finished concrete, assembled the flagpole, installed the flagpole, and raised the flag. All was completed in one day.
