Sandton notes on installation & traffic control
Sandton sits mostly on granite, so footings dig well, but the streets are crowded with fibre, power and water lines, and core drilling into podium slabs needs the structural engineer's approval. Work in the road reserve usually needs a wayleave from the city. Office parks in Sunninghill and Rivonia replace boom gates often, and road works around Grayston Drive bring jersey barriers and cones for weeks.
Who protects what in Sandton
Sandton is Africa's best known financial district, and the bollards here are expected to look as good as they work. Office towers around Rivonia Road, Maude Street and Grayston Drive use stainless and clad bollards at entrances, retractable posts at basement ramps and anti-ram lines around plazas where crowds gather. Luxury retailers and jewellers ask about ram raid protection, and the hotels want neat chain and post queues at the drop-off. Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside homes add driveway posts and lit garden paths. Alexandra next door has the opposite need: tough, cheap posts that keep taxis and cars off busy sidewalks. Many contractors who work here come from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kew, a few minutes away along the M1.
Typical boom gates requests in the area come from:
- Offices, hotels and car parks: an office park entrance with access card readers and a visitor lane
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: car park booms at a shopping centre entrance and exit
- Homeowners: a manual boom across a long private driveway or a smallholding entrance
