Johannesburg notes on security & access

Ram raids on shopping centres, cellphone shops and ATMs keep security bollards in demand from Northcliff to the south. Ask what a post is built to stop, because a hollow tube bolted into paving only deters. Townhouse complexes in Fourways and Melville often fit removable posts at a second gate, and warehouses in City Deep and Wynberg want yellow steel posts at dock doors and racking ends to keep forklifts and trucks off the walls.

Sites and streets in Johannesburg

In Johannesburg the bollard question is usually about the sidewalk. Minibus taxis pulling onto pavements around the CBD ranks, delivery trucks mounting kerbs in Marshalltown and Braamfontein, and cars parked across shop entrances in Soweto and along Louis Botha Avenue all push owners and the city towards rows of posts. Shopping centres and cash handling sites deal with ram raids, while townhouse complexes from Fourways to the south want boom gates and humps. Steel fabricators and precast suppliers sit in City Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, close to the M1, M2 and N12. Under old CBD paving there are cables, fibre and water mains nobody has drawn properly, so ask about a cable locator and a municipal wayleave before anyone breaks ground.

Typical anti-ram bollards requests in the area come from:

  • Shops, malls and petrol stations: cellphone shops, pharmacies, jewellers and ATMs protected after a ram raid
  • Warehouses, factories and depots: cash centres, depots and plants with rated posts at gates and loading areas
  • Municipalities and public spaces: pedestrian squares and event streets protected from hostile vehicles
