Installation & traffic control in Western Cape: local notes
On the sandy Cape Flats footings need to be wider, while rock and clay in the winelands may need a breaker or core drill. Winter rain fills retractable bollard pits that lack drainage. Sidewalk work in Cape Town usually needs a wayleave from the City first. Road works on the N1, N2 and R44 hire jersey barriers and cones, and wine farm roads use guardrails on bends and at river crossings.
Who protects what in Western Cape
Cape Town sets the pace for bollards in the Western Cape, with crowded CBD sidewalks, a waterfront, stadium precincts and townhouse complexes from the northern suburbs to the Atlantic seaboard. Warehouses in Montague Gardens, Epping, Airport Industria and Blackheath need forklift and dock posts, and shopfronts across the city ask for ram raid protection. Outside the city, wine farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek want timber or decorative posts on gravel parking, and the Garden Route towns of George and Knysna add holiday estates and beach parking. Winter rain and the southeaster test coatings and drainage, and the sandy Cape Flats behave very differently from the clay and rock of the winelands. Fabricators and precast yards are spread across the northern industrial areas.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually come from:
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a body corporate refurbishing faded posts and replacing a broken precast unit
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a warehouse replacing forklift-damaged posts at racking ends and dock doors
- Municipalities and public spaces: sidewalk posts knocked over by taxis replaced and re-set in deeper footings
