George: the properties, the ground and the installers
George is the business centre of the Garden Route, set on a plateau below the Outeniqua Mountains and a few kilometres from the sea. York Street and the CBD have shops, offices and municipal buildings, the airport brings car rental parking to manage, and the industrial areas near Pacaltsdorp hold sawmills, depots and workshops. Rain falls through most of the year here, so drainage and rust are bigger concerns than in drier towns. Wilderness and Herold's Bay sit right on the coast with salt air and sandy soil, while estates and golf courses around the town want boom gates and decorative posts. Installers serve the whole Garden Route, and heavy units often travel long distances along the N2.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: allocated bays in a complex with one lockable post per bay
- Offices, hotels and car parks: reserved bays in an office park basement or open parking
- Municipalities and public spaces: access to a park or service road opened by parks staff with a key
