Alberton notes on installation & traffic control
On the Klipriviersberg ridge rock is often right under the topsoil, so footings are core drilled and set with resin, and retractable pits may need rock breaking. In the lower suburbs clay is the issue. Truck traffic in Alrode means frequent repairs to bent posts and guardrail, and works on the R59 and N3 call for jersey barriers and cones.
Sites and streets in Alberton
Two very different Albertons ask for bollards. Alrode, one of the bigger heavy industrial areas south of Johannesburg, is full of steel works, foundries, chemical plants and truck depots off the R59 and Heidelberg Road, and it buys heavy posts, guardrail and boom gates by the dozen. Up on the Klipriviersberg ridge, Meyersdal's security estates and large homes want decorative and lit bollards, retractable posts at gates and neat speed humps. In between, Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart have family homes and complexes, while New Redruth's shopping streets and Thokoza's busy routes need sidewalk protection. Rock is shallow on the ridge, and Alrode's own fabricators make supply quick.
Who asks for bollard installation around Alberton, most often first:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: steel posts core drilled into a warehouse floor at racking ends and doors
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a line of posts cast in along visitor parking and the clubhouse walkway
- Homeowners: two posts core drilled into a paved driveway so nobody parks across the gate
