Installation & traffic control in North West: local notes
On the clay around Brits and Rustenburg, many installers dig deeper and wider footings so a post does not lean after a wet season. Mines want permits, method statements and inductions before anyone drills. Road works on the N4 Platinum Highway and the R510 bring demand for cones, delineators and water-filled barriers, and farm roads near Lichtenburg and Koster use guardrails at culverts and low bridges.
North West: the properties, the ground and the installers
Platinum shapes much of the bollard work in North West. Shafts, smelters and concentrators around Rustenburg and Brits use steel posts and guardrails to keep haul trucks, light vehicles and pedestrians apart, and their supply yards ask for forklift posts and jersey barriers. Away from the mines, Hartbeespoort has lifestyle estates and weekend homes along the dam with boom gates and decorative posts, Potchefstroom has a university campus and school drop-off zones, and Mahikeng has government offices that need controlled access. Black clay in the Brits and Rustenburg area swells in summer rain and cracks in winter, so footings matter. Fabricators in Rustenburg and Brits cover the platinum belt, and heavier precast often comes from Gauteng along the N4.
The requests we see from North West usually 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
