Worcester notes on installation & traffic control

Ground in the valley can be stony or alluvial near the river, so ask whether the installer expects rock and how that is priced. Hot summer days make concrete cure fast, so check that footings are kept damp. Guardrails on farm roads, bridges and embankments are a common order, and road works on the N1 and the Hex River route need jersey barriers and plenty of cones.

Sites and streets in Worcester

Fruit, wine and freight keep Worcester busy. The town sits in the Breede River valley on the N1, about 110 km from Cape Town, and trucks carrying grapes, fruit and wine run between the farms of the Hex River valley, Rawsonville and Robertson and the cold stores and packhouses in town. Those sites need forklift protection, loading dock posts and guardrails, while truck stops and fuel depots along the N1 protect pump islands and tanks. The town centre has shopfronts, taxi ranks and schools with drop-off zones. Summers are very hot and winters cold, with frost and occasional snow on the mountains, but there is no salt air, so plain galvanised steel lasts.

Typical guardrails requests in the area come from:

  • Warehouses, factories and depots: rails in a loading area protecting pipes, tanks and walls from trucks
  • Shops, malls and petrol stations: rails along the edge of a shopping centre car park above a slope
  • Schools, hospitals and campuses: a rail along a campus road beside a stormwater channel
