What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Warehouses and container depots in Prospecton, Bayhead and Westmead want forklift posts and barriers at doors and racking. Ram raids and smash and grabs on shops and ATMs keep security posts in demand along the Durban CBD, Pinetown and Umhlanga Ridge. Estates on the north coast run gatehouses with boom gates and spikes, and homeowners in Durban North and Westville ask for fold-down posts to keep driveways clear.
KwaZulu-Natal: the properties, the ground and the installers
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.
