Security & access in Pretoria: local notes
Embassies, ministries and courts are the reason anti-ram and crash rated bollards are discussed more often here than in most cities. A rating only holds for the tested design and footing, so ask for the drawing. Estates in Mooikloof, Silver Lakes and Woodhill want retractable or removable posts at service gates, while Hatfield student blocks use fixed posts to stop cars parking on the pavement.
Pretoria: the properties, the ground and the installers
As the seat of government, Pretoria has more ministries, embassies and diplomatic residences than any other South African city, and that sets the tone for bollards here. Arcadia, Brooklyn and Waterkloof carry perimeter posts, retractable units at gates and hostile vehicle measures in front of busy buildings. Students crowd the sidewalks of Hatfield and Sunnyside, so the city and universities use posts to keep cars off walkways. On the east side, Silverton and Waltloo hold steel fabricators, precast suppliers and access control installers; Rosslyn and Pretoria West serve the vehicle plants and transport yards near the N4 and N1. Ground varies a lot: rock on the ridges, clay in the valleys and dolomite in parts of the south and east.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: hospital and campus parking with clear wheelchair bays and walkways
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: visitor parking at a complex with posts along the walkway to the units
- Offices, hotels and car parks: office park parking with protected walkways, columns and EV chargers
