East London notes on bollard types
On the Esplanade, in Quigney and at Nahoon, 316 stainless or galvanised steel with a proper coating holds up much better than painted mild steel. Precast concrete posts and domes are common for public parking and taxi ranks because they need little upkeep. Inland in Bhisho and Qonce, standard galvanised steel and grade 304 stainless are usually enough, and decorative bollards suit government precincts and older town centres.
Who protects what in East London
East London is built around a river port and a car plant, and both shape its bollard work. The industrial development zone and the older industrial areas around Wilsonia hold component suppliers, warehouses and transport depots that need racking protection, guardrails and gate posts. Along the Esplanade and in Quigney, beachfront parking and promenades face salt and sand, while Oxford Street and the CBD carry busy sidewalks, taxi ranks and shopfronts. Vincent and Beacon Bay have office parks, schools and complexes, and Mdantsane, one of the larger townships in the country, has its own taxi ranks and public facilities. Bhisho and Qonce, inland along the N6, add government buildings and less salt.
Typical decorative bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: front-of-house visitor parking at a plant with a heritage building
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: university quads, museums and historic government buildings
- Offices, hotels and car parks: hotel drop-offs, wine estate tasting rooms and wedding venues
