Eastern Cape notes on installation & traffic control
Sandy soil near the coast needs wider footings, and old slabs in Gqeberha's industrial areas should be scanned before core drilling. Wind blows sand into retractable pits and boom gate mechanisms, so ask about covers and servicing. Road works on the N2 through the former Transkei hire cones and water-filled barriers, and municipalities usually decide on speed humps on public roads in Buffalo City and Nelson Mandela Bay.
Eastern Cape: the properties, the ground and the installers
The Eastern Cape's bollard work centres on two industrial cities and a long, windy coastline. Gqeberha's motor industry and its suppliers in Struandale, Deal Party and the Coega area need forklift posts, racking protection and barriers at loading docks, and East London's plants in West Bank and Wilsonia do the same. The coast from Jeffreys Bay to Port Alfred brings salt air and wind blown sand, so coatings and stainless grade matter. Inland, Makhanda has schools and a university, Mthatha has hospitals, government offices and a busy CBD with taxi ranks, and Graaff-Reinet has heritage streets where decorative posts fit. Fabricators and precast yards are mostly in Gqeberha and East London, and distances to the former Transkei and the Karoo add travel.
Typical guardrails requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: rails in a loading area protecting pipes, tanks and walls from trucks
- Municipalities and public spaces: guardrails on a municipal road at a bridge or sharp bend
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: rails along the edge of a shopping centre car park above a slope
