Security & access in George: local notes

Golf and residential estates around George want boom gates, guardhouses and spikes, plus posts that stop vehicles going around the boom. Sawmills and depots near Pacaltsdorp ask for heavy posts at loading areas and fuel points. The airport and car rental parking need bay control, and shops along York Street ask about protection at night. Homeowners use removable posts to keep holiday visitors from parking across their driveways.

George: the properties, the ground and the installers

George is the business centre of the Garden Route, set on a plateau below the Outeniqua Mountains and a few kilometres from the sea. York Street and the CBD have shops, offices and municipal buildings, the airport brings car rental parking to manage, and the industrial areas near Pacaltsdorp hold sawmills, depots and workshops. Rain falls through most of the year here, so drainage and rust are bigger concerns than in drier towns. Wilderness and Herold's Bay sit right on the coast with salt air and sandy soil, while estates and golf courses around the town want boom gates and decorative posts. Installers serve the whole Garden Route, and heavy units often travel long distances along the N2.

Typical retractable bollards requests in the area come from:

  • Estates, complexes and body corporates: automatic posts beside a boom gate or across an emergency access road
  • Offices, hotels and car parks: secure executive parking and office park lanes opened by access card
  • Municipalities and public spaces: pedestrian streets and squares opened for service vehicles in the morning
