What to know locally in eMalahleni
Theft of cable, fuel and copper drives much of the security work around plants and depots, so access lanes get boom gates, tyre spikes and steel posts that stop a bakkie backing up to a fence. Shopfronts on the busier roads into town ask for anti-ram posts after break-ins. In townhouse complexes around Clewer and Reyno Ridge, removable posts keep visitor bays clear. A rated bollard only performs with the footing it was tested with.
eMalahleni: the properties, the ground and the installers
Coal decides most of the bollard work in eMalahleni. Collieries, washing plants and the power stations toward Kriel and Ogies all need steel posts around transformers, fuel bays, conveyors and pedestrian crossings, and haul trucks on the N4 and N12 turn into yards with very little room to spare. In town, filling stations and shopfronts along the main roads ask for impact posts after a bakkie mounts the kerb, while complexes in Del Judor and Clewer price boom gates and speed humps. Steel fabricators and engineering shops in Ferrobank and the other industrial areas weld posts to order, and precast units usually come from yards on the eastern side of Gauteng. Expect site safety inductions before any installer gets through a mine gate.
Typical driveway bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a small works driveway protected from trucks turning in the street
- Contractors and event organisers: posts set as part of new paving or a driveway rebuild
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a small shop's side entrance kept clear for the owner's bakkie
