Cape Town notes on bollard types
Along Sea Point, Camps Bay and the harbour, 316 stainless is often specified because it resists salt better, while precast concrete with a sealed finish is used for public spaces and parking. Woodstock and the CBD lean towards dark powder coated steel and decorative cast posts in heritage areas. In Epping and Montague Gardens warehouses, yellow concrete filled steel and polymer barriers protect racking and doors.
Cape Town: the properties, the ground and the installers
Few South African cities ask as much of a bollard as Cape Town. The CBD and the Foreshore have government buildings, squares and pedestrian streets that call for hostile vehicle mitigation, while Sea Point and the Atlantic seaboard want posts that look good and resist salt spray. Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland are full of warehouses, cold stores and depots with forklifts and trucks, and Woodstock and Salt River mix old industrial buildings with studios and offices. Winter brings rain from the northwest, summer the strong southeaster. Sandy soil on the Cape Flats contrasts with rock and clay on the slopes, and many fabricators and precast yards work from Epping, Montague Gardens and the N1 corridor.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Offices, hotels and car parks: marking entrances and walkways at office parks and keeping bays and paths apart
- Municipalities and public spaces: closing streets to cars, protecting squares and keeping vehicles off sidewalks
- Warehouses, factories and depots: protecting racking ends, doors, gas lines and pedestrian routes from forklifts and trucks
