What to know locally in Cape Town
Public spaces, stadium routes and government buildings in the CBD need crash-rated or engineered posts, and designers must show how the system stops a vehicle at a given speed. Warehouses in Montague Gardens and Epping need forklift protection. Office parks in Century City use boom gates and access cards, and Claremont shopping streets ask about ram raids at night.
Sites and streets in Cape Town
Few South African cities ask as much of a bollard as Cape Town. The CBD and the Foreshore have government buildings, squares and pedestrian streets that call for hostile vehicle mitigation, while Sea Point and the Atlantic seaboard want posts that look good and resist salt spray. Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland are full of warehouses, cold stores and depots with forklifts and trucks, and Woodstock and Salt River mix old industrial buildings with studios and offices. Winter brings rain from the northwest, summer the strong southeaster. Sandy soil on the Cape Flats contrasts with rock and clay on the slopes, and many fabricators and precast yards work from Epping, Montague Gardens and the N1 corridor.
Typical driveway bollards requests in the area come from:
- Offices, hotels and car parks: a guesthouse or practice driveway kept clear for clients
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a school or clinic's staff driveway kept free of parents' cars
- Municipalities and public spaces: approvals for posts on verges and sidewalks outside private homes
