Free State notes on installation & traffic control
Clay across the Free State shrinks in dry winters and swells after summer storms, so many installers set footings deeper and keep posts away from cracking paving edges. Road works on the N1 and N3 call for long runs of cones and jersey barriers, farm roads use guardrails at bridges and culverts, and speed humps outside schools in Bloemfontein and Welkom usually need the municipality to agree first.
Free State: the properties, the ground and the installers
The Free State sits on the main freight routes, and much of its bollard and barrier work follows the N1, N3 and N8. Truck stops and fuel stations at Kroonstad, Harrismith and Bloemfontein want pump island posts and guardrails, chemical plants at Sasolburg need heavy posts around pipe racks and tank farms, and the gold field towns around Welkom have mine and plant work. Bloemfontein adds government buildings, a university, hospitals and estates with boom gates and speed humps. Clarens and Bethlehem lean to timber and decorative posts. Clay soils across the province move with the seasons, and winters bring hard frost. Installers and fabricators cluster in Bloemfontein's Hamilton and Hilton industrial areas.
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
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: impact posts core drilled into a shopfront forecourt after a ram raid scare
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a school drop-off zone lined with posts set in new footings
