Municipal Center Flagpole Maintenance

The flagpole is located on top of the North Augusta Municipal Center. The top of the pole is approximately 140’ above the ground floor. The flagpole has a motorized operator to raise and lower the flags. The motor operation can be automated, using a photocell to raise and lower the flags daily, though they are normally kept at full-staff at all times. The motor and flag access is at the base of the pole inside the cupola, with a floor elevation approximately 97’ above ground floor. There is no permanent access to the cupola, nor are there any fixed safety harness attachment points. The cupola has historically been accessed using an extension ladder (furnished by the Owner) from an accessible roof deck approximately 35’ below the cupola floor. An operable window enables access into the cupola. The attached diagrams more clearly show the existing conditions.
