Bollard types in Free State: local notes
Plain precast domes and square posts from Bloemfontein yards are common on sidewalks and school frontages, and they suit the open towns well. Heavier industrial sites in Sasolburg and Welkom use galvanised pipe posts painted yellow. In Clarens, Bethlehem and the guest farms of the eastern Free State, timber posts and decorative cast posts with chain match sandstone buildings. Hard frost can crack weak concrete, so ask about mix and curing.
Free State: the properties, the ground and the installers
The Free State sits on the main freight routes, and much of its bollard and barrier work follows the N1, N3 and N8. Truck stops and fuel stations at Kroonstad, Harrismith and Bloemfontein want pump island posts and guardrails, chemical plants at Sasolburg need heavy posts around pipe racks and tank farms, and the gold field towns around Welkom have mine and plant work. Bloemfontein adds government buildings, a university, hospitals and estates with boom gates and speed humps. Clarens and Bethlehem lean to timber and decorative posts. Clay soils across the province move with the seasons, and winters bring hard frost. Installers and fabricators cluster in Bloemfontein's Hamilton and Hilton industrial areas.
Typical plastic bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: marking truck routes and keep-clear zones in yards where hits are common
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: splitting visitor and resident lanes at the gate and marking speed calming islands
- Municipalities and public spaces: separating cycle lanes, taxi lanes and painted traffic islands
