Welkom notes on installation & traffic control
Clay soils and, in places, old undermined ground make a site check worth doing before deep footings. Ask the installer about it. Speed humps on public roads go through the Matjhabeng municipality, usually after a request and an assessment. Jersey barriers and cones are hired for mine road closures and works on the R30. Guardrails along mine haul roads and near tailings dams are another common job.
Welkom: the properties, the ground and the installers
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town with wide roads and many traffic circles, and that layout still shapes its traffic control. Circles and long straight avenues mean speeding, so speed humps and road barriers near schools in Thabong and Riebeeckstad are frequent requests. Mines and shafts around Odendaalsrus, Virginia and Allanridge, some working and some closed, need fencing lines protected, gatehouses guarded and old sites closed off with heavy precast blocks or jersey barriers. The shopping centres in the CBD and filling stations along the R30 deal with parking and break-ins. Mining subsidence affects some areas. Fabricators in the industrial area weld posts locally, and Bloemfontein is about 160 km south.
Who asks for guardrails around Welkom, most often first:
- 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
- Contractors and event organisers: a subcontract for supplying and installing W-beam on a civil project
