What to know locally in Welkom
Metal and cable theft at closed or working shafts brings demand for posts that block vehicle access, along with boom gates and spikes at the gates that are still used. Shops and cash businesses in the CBD ask for anti-ram posts after break-ins. Complexes in Flamingo Park and Riebeeckstad use boom gates with backup batteries, and some homeowners add removable driveway posts.
Who protects what in Welkom
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.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Municipalities and public spaces: public car parks, taxi ranks and parking along market streets
- Warehouses, factories and depots: staff parking at a plant kept apart from the truck yard
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: shopping centre car parks with posts in front of shopfronts and trolley bays
