Mpumalanga notes on bollard types
Treated pine poles, specified H4 for ground contact, suit the gravel parking at lodges around Hazyview, Sabie and the roads towards the Kruger gates, with reflectors for guests arriving late. On the Highveld, fabricators in Middelburg and eMalahleni turn out heavy galvanised pipe posts for plants. Strong Lowveld sun fades cheap plastic posts and covers quickly, so ask for UV stable material or choose painted steel or exposed aggregate precast instead.
Who protects what in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into two jobs. Up on the Highveld, coal mines, power stations and the petrochemical plant at Secunda need heavy steel posts around pipe racks, gas lines and weighbridges, plus guardrails and jersey barriers on haul roads where coal trucks squeeze past light vehicles. Down in the Lowveld, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview are about lodge parking, game farm gates, shopping strips on the R40 and townhouse complexes with boom gates. Granite sits close under the surface in many Lowveld suburbs, so a core drill or a jackhammer is often part of the job. Steel and precast usually come from eMalahleni and Middelburg industrial areas or Gauteng, and the N4 carries most of it east.
Typical bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: protecting racking ends, doors, gas lines and pedestrian routes from forklifts and trucks
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a line of posts in front of shopfronts, ATMs and pump islands against reversing cars
- Contractors and event organisers: supplying and setting posts on new builds and upgrades to the architect's layout
