What to know locally in Kimberley
Provincial departments, courts and the legislature need posts that stop vehicles at entrances, usually rated designs installed to the maker's drawing. Banks and shopping centres in the CBD and along the N12 ask for posts after ram raids. Complexes in Hadison Park and Royldene use boom gates with a backup battery. Retractable posts are possible, but ask who will service them this far from Gauteng.
Kimberley: the properties, the ground and the installers
Diamond history, government offices and long distances define Kimberley. As the Northern Cape capital, it has provincial buildings, courts, a newer university campus and hospitals that need perimeter posts and controlled parking. The old mining town centre and streets around the historic mine area suit decorative and heritage style posts, while the shopping centres and filling stations on the N12 and the roads toward Barkly West and Ritchie deal with parking and break-ins. Galeshewe and Roodepan have busy taxi routes and schools that ask for speed humps. Bloemfontein is about 175 km away, and Johannesburg is near 470 km, so heavy precast often comes from the few local yards.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- 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
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a small shop's side entrance kept clear for the owner's bakkie
Local tips for Kimberley
Common here: government perimeter posts, heritage decorative posts, school speed humps. Ask each installer about this: ask whether the quote includes the trip from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Where they work from: fabricators and a few precast yards in the Kimberley industrial areas.
Sizes vary: usually 600 to 1,000 mm high, 1 to 4 posts. Here, schools, hospitals and campuses lead the requests, typically for a school or clinic's staff driveway kept free of parents' cars. One local point to raise: about 175 km from Bloemfontein and near 470 km from Johannesburg on the N12.
