Bollard types in Welkom: local notes
Heavy precast blocks and domes do the work of closing old access roads and unused yards, since they stand on their own weight. Painted steel pipe protects fuel points and workshops at the mines. In town, precast posts line shopping centre parking, while homeowners lean toward square steel or fold-down posts. Timber posts with reflectors suit farms and guest houses toward Hennenman.
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.
Who asks for concrete bollards around Welkom, most often first:
- Municipalities and public spaces: closing off streets, lining taxi ranks and protecting public squares
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: lining school drop-off zones and clinic entrances against parking cars
- Warehouses, factories and depots: big units around gas tanks, transformers and yard corners
