What to know locally in Welkom
Clay soils and, in places, old undermined ground make a site check worth doing before deep footings. Ask the installer about it. Speed humps on public roads go through the Matjhabeng municipality, usually after a request and an assessment. Jersey barriers and cones are hired for mine road closures and works on the R30. Guardrails along mine haul roads and near tailings dams are another common job.
Welkom: the properties, the ground and the installers
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town with wide roads and many traffic circles, and that layout still shapes its traffic control. Circles and long straight avenues mean speeding, so speed humps and road barriers near schools in Thabong and Riebeeckstad are frequent requests. Mines and shafts around Odendaalsrus, Virginia and Allanridge, some working and some closed, need fencing lines protected, gatehouses guarded and old sites closed off with heavy precast blocks or jersey barriers. The shopping centres in the CBD and filling stations along the R30 deal with parking and break-ins. Mining subsidence affects some areas. Fabricators in the industrial area weld posts locally, and Bloemfontein is about 160 km south.
Typical chain and post barriers requests in the area come from:
- Municipalities and public spaces: cast posts and chain around a monument, square or park lawn
- Contractors and event organisers: temporary plastic chain and posts marking a site boundary or event line
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a school or church keeping cars off the grass with posts and chain
