Installation & traffic control in Upington: local notes
Sandy soil near the river can be soft, while calcrete further out is hard, so footing design varies even within a short drive. Ask the installer to look at the site first. Concrete needs careful curing in this heat, with shade and water. Guardrails on farm roads and canal crossings, and cones for works on the N10 and N14, are steady requests from contractors here.
Upington: the properties, the ground and the installers
Extreme heat and huge distances set the terms in Upington. Summer days often pass 40 degrees, so plastic posts and paint fade quickly and steel can get too hot to touch. The town sits on the Orange River, with vineyards, raisin farms and packing sheds stretching toward Keimoes, Kakamas and Kanoneiland, and solar power plants in the surrounding Kalahari that need posts and gates around their substations and access roads. In town, shopping centres, the hospital, schools and government offices need parking control and speed humps. Kimberley is about 400 km away and Gauteng much further, so most steel posts are welded locally, and heavy precast units are worth grouping into one delivery.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a depot or factory gate controlling trucks in and out of the yard
- 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
