What to know locally in Cape Town
On the Cape Flats, sandy soil needs a wider footing, while sites on the slopes of Table Mountain may hit rock just below the surface. Winter rain can flood retractable bollard pits, so ask how the pit drains. Work on city sidewalks usually needs a wayleave, and the southeaster makes cone and barrier placement harder, so water-filled units must be filled and cones linked or weighted.
Cape Town: the properties, the ground and the installers
Few South African cities ask as much of a bollard as Cape Town. The CBD and the Foreshore have government buildings, squares and pedestrian streets that call for hostile vehicle mitigation, while Sea Point and the Atlantic seaboard want posts that look good and resist salt spray. Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland are full of warehouses, cold stores and depots with forklifts and trucks, and Woodstock and Salt River mix old industrial buildings with studios and offices. Winter brings rain from the northwest, summer the strong southeaster. Sandy soil on the Cape Flats contrasts with rock and clay on the slopes, and many fabricators and precast yards work from Epping, Montague Gardens and the N1 corridor.
Who asks for chain and post barriers around Cape Town, most often first:
- Offices, hotels and car parks: stainless posts and rope at a hotel or office entrance
- Warehouses, factories and depots: chain lines marking a walkway or a no-go area in a yard
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: plastic chain lines guiding queues and closing off part of a car park
