What to know locally in Johannesburg
Ram raids on shopping centres, cellphone shops and ATMs keep security bollards in demand from Northcliff to the south. Ask what a post is built to stop, because a hollow tube bolted into paving only deters. Townhouse complexes in Fourways and Melville often fit removable posts at a second gate, and warehouses in City Deep and Wynberg want yellow steel posts at dock doors and racking ends to keep forklifts and trucks off the walls.
Johannesburg: the properties, the ground and the installers
In Johannesburg the bollard question is usually about the sidewalk. Minibus taxis pulling onto pavements around the CBD ranks, delivery trucks mounting kerbs in Marshalltown and Braamfontein, and cars parked across shop entrances in Soweto and along Louis Botha Avenue all push owners and the city towards rows of posts. Shopping centres and cash handling sites deal with ram raids, while townhouse complexes from Fourways to the south want boom gates and humps. Steel fabricators and precast suppliers sit in City Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, close to the M1, M2 and N12. Under old CBD paving there are cables, fibre and water mains nobody has drawn properly, so ask about a cable locator and a municipal wayleave before anyone breaks ground.
Typical driveway bollards requests in the area come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a small shop's side entrance kept clear for the owner's bakkie
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a small works driveway protected from trucks turning in the street
- Municipalities and public spaces: approvals for posts on verges and sidewalks outside private homes
Local tips for Johannesburg
Suppliers serving Johannesburg mostly work from here: city Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, with yards along the M1 and N12. The jobs that come up most: sidewalk and taxi rank bollards, ram raid posts for shops, complex boom gates. When you ask for quotes, ask who arranges the wayleave and the service scan before sidewalk work starts.
Sizes vary: usually 600 to 1,000 mm high, 1 to 4 posts. Here, shops, malls and petrol stations lead the requests, typically for a small shop's side entrance kept clear for the owner's bakkie. One local point to raise: crane trucks deliver from yards in the south and east; installers cover the whole city.
