Installation & traffic control in Rustenburg: local notes
Turf clay moves a lot, so a shallow footing can tilt within a season; many installers dig deeper, replace the clay around the footing or use a wider base, depending on the design. Ask for that in writing. Speed humps in Tlhabane and Boitekong are municipal jobs, so ask Rustenburg municipality first. Guardrails, jersey barriers and cones are in steady demand for mine roads and works on the N4 and R510.
Who protects what in Rustenburg
Platinum mining has made Rustenburg a town of shafts, smelters, contractor yards and fast-growing housing, and the bollard requests follow that pattern. Mines and processing plants around Marikana, Kroondal and Mooinooi need steel posts at workshops, fuel points and pedestrian routes, while the N4 Platinum Highway and the roads to Pilanesberg carry heavy trucks and tour coaches. The CBD, Cashan and Safari Gardens have shopping centres, filling stations and offices dealing with smash and grabs and careless parking. The black turf clay that covers much of the valley is the main technical issue, because it swells when wet and cracks when dry. Pretoria is about 110 km away for rated or specialist units.
Typical chain and post barriers requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chain and posts around a clubhouse lawn and along the visitors' parking
