Kimberley notes on installation & traffic control
Calcrete and dolerite rock are common close to the surface, so footings may need a breaker or core drill instead of a spade. Ask what happens if the digger hits rock. Sidewalk and road reserve work needs a wayleave from Sol Plaatje municipality. Speed humps near schools in Galeshewe are a frequent request, and cones and jersey barriers are needed for works on the N12 and the N8.
Who protects what in Kimberley
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.
Typical guardrails requests in the area come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a rail along a campus road beside a stormwater channel
- 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
