Installation & traffic control in Johannesburg: local notes
The Witwatersrand ridges mean installers in Northcliff, Melville and Linden often hit quartzite a short way down, so a core drill or a smaller, wider footing may replace a deep hole. In the south, mine dump sand and fill call for deeper concrete. Body corporates order speed humps and boom gates through the year, and contractors working on the M1 and inner city roads hire jersey barriers and cones by the week.
Johannesburg: the properties, the ground and the installers
In Johannesburg the bollard question is usually about the sidewalk. Minibus taxis pulling onto pavements around the CBD ranks, delivery trucks mounting kerbs in Marshalltown and Braamfontein, and cars parked across shop entrances in Soweto and along Louis Botha Avenue all push owners and the city towards rows of posts. Shopping centres and cash handling sites deal with ram raids, while townhouse complexes from Fourways to the south want boom gates and humps. Steel fabricators and precast suppliers sit in City Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, close to the M1, M2 and N12. Under old CBD paving there are cables, fibre and water mains nobody has drawn properly, so ask about a cable locator and a municipal wayleave before anyone breaks ground.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: car park booms at a shopping centre entrance and exit
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a depot or factory gate controlling trucks in and out of the yard
- Municipalities and public spaces: a boom closing a municipal depot, landfill or parking area
