What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Sandy soil near the coast and clay inland both need well sized footings, and heavy summer rain means retractable bollard pits need proper drainage. Work on the beachfront or a sidewalk in eThekwini usually needs a wayleave first. Contractors on the N2 and N3 hire jersey barriers and cones for long closures, and salt air shortens the life of boom gate motors and bolts, so servicing is more frequent at the coast.
Sites and streets in KwaZulu-Natal
Salt air is the first thing to plan for in coastal KwaZulu-Natal. From the Durban beachfront to Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, mild steel rusts quickly unless it is galvanised and well coated, and many specifiers choose 316 stainless for promenades and office forecourts. The port of Durban and Richards Bay bring container yards, warehouses in Prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni and Pinetown, and truck traffic that hits posts and guardrails. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has a university, government offices and industrial areas, and Newcastle has steel and textile plants. Complexes and estates along the north coast run boom gates and speed humps. Heavy summer rain and sandy coastal soils make footings and drainage important. Most fabricators and precast yards are in the Durban industrial south and Pinetown.
The requests we see from KwaZulu-Natal usually 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
- Offices, hotels and car parks: posts set along an office entrance and car park walkway, with paving reinstated
