Durban notes on installation & traffic control
Sandy ground near the beach often needs a wider, deeper footing than the same post would need on the clay of the upper Berea. Expect a municipal wayleave for any work on a public sidewalk, and ask the installer to scan for cables under old paving on Umgeni Road and in the CBD. Boom gates at depots in Mobeni and Jacobs work hard, so service plans matter, and road works on the M4 and N2 keep cone and jersey barrier hire busy.
Sites and streets in Durban
Along the beachfront promenade from the Point to the Umgeni River mouth, bollards do two jobs at once: they keep cars off a walkway packed with joggers and holiday crowds, and they have to survive spray that comes over the sea wall on windy days. Inland, the picture changes to the harbour and the south basin, where container trucks turn into depots in Jacobs, Mobeni and Prospecton and clip every gatepost and kerb in reach. Warwick Junction and the CBD add taxi ranks, busy sidewalks and shopfronts that need protection from smash and grabs. Steel fabricators and precast yards work mostly from the south basin and the industrial roads off the N2, and most quotes for the metro come from there.
Typical bollard installation requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: steel posts core drilled into a warehouse floor at racking ends and doors
- Municipalities and public spaces: posts cast in along a sidewalk under a wayleave to stop cars mounting the kerb
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: impact posts core drilled into a shopfront forecourt after a ram raid scare
