Mpumalanga notes on installation & traffic control
Coal haulage on the R544, N11 and roads around Ermelo wears edges and tar fast, so guardrail repairs and road works barriers come up often. Mine and plant sites have their own safety rules, so expect inductions and permits before an installer can drill. In the Lowveld, shallow granite means footings are often core drilled into rock rather than dug, and summer downpours call for drainage in retractable bollard pits and boom gate bases.
Mpumalanga: the properties, the ground and the installers
Mpumalanga splits into two jobs. Up on the Highveld, coal mines, power stations and the petrochemical plant at Secunda need heavy steel posts around pipe racks, gas lines and weighbridges, plus guardrails and jersey barriers on haul roads where coal trucks squeeze past light vehicles. Down in the Lowveld, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview are about lodge parking, game farm gates, shopping strips on the R40 and townhouse complexes with boom gates. Granite sits close under the surface in many Lowveld suburbs, so a core drill or a jackhammer is often part of the job. Steel and precast usually come from eMalahleni and Middelburg industrial areas or Gauteng, and the N4 carries most of it east.
