Security & access in Alberton: local notes

Meyersdal estates and large homes ask for retractable or removable posts at gates and service entrances, linked to the access control. Plants and depots in Alrode protect gas lines, pipe racks and dock doors with heavy posts and polymer barriers, and many fit boom gates with tyre spikes. Shops in New Redruth ask for ram raid posts in front of glass and ATMs.

Alberton: the properties, the ground and the installers

Two very different Albertons ask for bollards. Alrode, one of the bigger heavy industrial areas south of Johannesburg, is full of steel works, foundries, chemical plants and truck depots off the R59 and Heidelberg Road, and it buys heavy posts, guardrail and boom gates by the dozen. Up on the Klipriviersberg ridge, Meyersdal's security estates and large homes want decorative and lit bollards, retractable posts at gates and neat speed humps. In between, Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart have family homes and complexes, while New Redruth's shopping streets and Thokoza's busy routes need sidewalk protection. Rock is shallow on the ridge, and Alrode's own fabricators make supply quick.

Typical fold-down bollards requests in the area come from:

  • Warehouses, factories and depots: a side lane or bay for a service vehicle kept closed between visits
  • Municipalities and public spaces: access to a park or service road opened by parks staff with a key
  • Estates, complexes and body corporates: allocated bays in a complex with one lockable post per bay
