Installation & traffic control in Newcastle: local notes
Ground here varies from clay that cracks in winter to harder shale and rock, so ask whether the installer expects to break rock and how that is priced. Hail and summer storms can damage plastic cones and flexible posts left in the sun, so choose UV stable material. Road works on the N11 and municipal streets need jersey barriers and cones, and a wayleave is usually needed before posts go into a public sidewalk.
Newcastle: the properties, the ground and the installers
Northern KwaZulu-Natal works hard, and Newcastle shows it: a steel works, textile and clothing factories, chemical plants and transport yards spread along the industrial areas and the N11. Factory sites need forklift protection, loading dock posts and guardrails, while the town centre and the taxi ranks serving Madadeni and Osizweni need sidewalk bollards and barriers against vehicles mounting the kerb. Winters are cold with frost, summers hot with thunderstorms, and there is no salt air at all, so ordinary galvanised steel lasts well. Precast concrete and steel posts can often be made locally, but heavier or specialised units may come from Durban or Gauteng, both several hours away by truck.
