eMalahleni notes on bollard types
Galvanised and painted mild steel pipe is the workhorse here, often 168 mm and concrete filled where trucks and front end loaders move. Coal dust and diesel grime dull yellow paint fast, so reflective bands need cleaning or replacing more often than in town. Precast domes suit the parking at offices in the CBD and Del Judor. Solar bollard lights are worth a look on dark plant roads where cabling is long and power cuts happen.
Sites and streets in eMalahleni
Coal decides most of the bollard work in eMalahleni. Collieries, washing plants and the power stations toward Kriel and Ogies all need steel posts around transformers, fuel bays, conveyors and pedestrian crossings, and haul trucks on the N4 and N12 turn into yards with very little room to spare. In town, filling stations and shopfronts along the main roads ask for impact posts after a bakkie mounts the kerb, while complexes in Del Judor and Clewer price boom gates and speed humps. Steel fabricators and engineering shops in Ferrobank and the other industrial areas weld posts to order, and precast units usually come from yards on the eastern side of Gauteng. Expect site safety inductions before any installer gets through a mine gate.
