To provide three fan assisted flagpoles to a large sporting event in Paris

Harrisons recently supplied a number of fan assisted flagpoles for a major sporting event in Europe.

Developing a large flagpole that will fly a large flag in a specific way regardless of wind direction and speed within a stadium is a significant challenge. Combined with staging, media, power, logistics and ceremony all these factors present additional expectations.

Harrisons have wide experience in this field and have supplied fan assisted flagpoles for significant ceremonial events over many years. Each event requires a unique solution and predictably, for impact, flags are becoming larger and expectations higher.

Combatting the external environment within a stadium or grandstand can pose a significant challenge particularly if it’s wet or windy.

Achieving a constant volume of air at a set windspeed to allow a flag to fly well on a flagpole involves the correct positioning of the air outlets, the right fan design and speed combined with the overall height and diameter of the flagpole.
