Bollard types in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Within a few kilometres of the sea, plain mild steel rusts fast, so coastal sites from Amanzimtoti to Ballito often choose 316 stainless or hot dip galvanised steel with a good powder coat. Precast domes and exposed aggregate posts from yards in the south basin suit promenades and parking. Inland in Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle, 304 stainless and painted steel are usually enough. Timber posts suit the Midlands and Drakensberg resorts.
Sites and streets in KwaZulu-Natal
Salt air is the first thing to plan for in coastal KwaZulu-Natal. From the Durban beachfront to Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, mild steel rusts quickly unless it is galvanised and well coated, and many specifiers choose 316 stainless for promenades and office forecourts. The port of Durban and Richards Bay bring container yards, warehouses in Prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni and Pinetown, and truck traffic that hits posts and guardrails. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has a university, government offices and industrial areas, and Newcastle has steel and textile plants. Complexes and estates along the north coast run boom gates and speed humps. Heavy summer rain and sandy coastal soils make footings and drainage important. Most fabricators and precast yards are in the Durban industrial south and Pinetown.

The jobs that come up most: 316 stainless on the coast, port and warehouse posts, estate boom gates on the north coast.
