Concrete filled steel pipe in safety yellow is what the mines and contractor yards want, and fabricators around town make it in batches.

Stainless posts appear mostly at newer offices, where 304 is plenty this far from the sea.
Sites and streets in Rustenburg
Platinum mining has made Rustenburg a town of shafts, smelters, contractor yards and fast-growing housing, and the bollard requests follow that pattern. Mines and processing plants around Marikana, Kroondal and Mooinooi need steel posts at workshops, fuel points and pedestrian routes, while the N4 Platinum Highway and the roads to Pilanesberg carry heavy trucks and tour coaches. The CBD, Cashan and Safari Gardens have shopping centres, filling stations and offices dealing with smash and grabs and careless parking. The black turf clay that covers much of the valley is the main technical issue, because it swells when wet and cracks when dry. Pretoria is about 110 km away for rated or specialist units.
