Midrand notes on installation & traffic control
Granite soils in Midrand are mostly kind to installers, but new developments sit on fill, so ask how deep the footing goes to reach firm ground. Many warehouse floors are post-tensioned, which makes a scan before core drilling essential. Speed humps and road markings are standard in new estates, and the construction along the N1 and K101 keeps contractors ordering cones and water-filled barriers.
Midrand: the properties, the ground and the installers
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand grew along the N1 into a belt of warehouses, data centres, logistics parks and new office blocks, with fast growing estates and apartment complexes in Waterfall, Noordwyk and Carlswald. That mix drives requests for warehouse safety bollards at dock doors and racking, protection posts around generators and transformer yards, and boom gates at the entrance of almost every new complex. Kyalami and Glen Austin keep a semi rural feel with smallholdings and equestrian properties, where timber posts and chain still look right. Much of Midrand sits on decomposed granite, generally easy to dig, and installers, gate automation firms and fabricators work out of Halfway House, Kyalami and the light industrial strips along Old Pretoria Road.
Typical boom gates requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a depot or factory gate controlling trucks in and out of the yard
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: car park booms at a shopping centre entrance and exit
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: entry and exit booms at the gatehouse with remotes, intercom and backup
