Paarl notes on installation & traffic control
Granite rock close to the surface in parts of Paarl may mean core drilling or a shallow, wide footing instead of a deep hole, so ask the installer to test dig first. Winter rain softens gravel lanes on farms, which affects how posts are set. Speed humps on farm roads and in estates are common, and guardrails protect embankments and culverts on farm roads during the wet season.
Who protects what in Paarl
Wine farms, fruit packhouses and one of the longest main streets in the country set the tone in Paarl. Wine estates on the slopes and around Simondium and Groot Drakenstein want timber or decorative posts along driveways, tasting room parking and gravel lanes, while packhouses and cold stores in Dal Josafat and along the R45 and R101 need forklift and truck protection. Main Street has shopfronts, heritage buildings and narrow sidewalks where cars park on pavements. Winters are wet and summers very hot, with granite rock close to the surface in parts of town. Many installers and fabricators work from Dal Josafat, and heavy units also come from Cape Town along the N1.
