KwaZulu-Natal notes on installation & traffic control
Sandy soil near the coast and clay inland both need well sized footings, and heavy summer rain means retractable bollard pits need proper drainage. Work on the beachfront or a sidewalk in eThekwini usually needs a wayleave first. Contractors on the N2 and N3 hire jersey barriers and cones for long closures, and salt air shortens the life of boom gate motors and bolts, so servicing is more frequent at the coast.
Who protects what in KwaZulu-Natal
Salt air is the first thing to plan for in coastal KwaZulu-Natal. From the Durban beachfront to Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, mild steel rusts quickly unless it is galvanised and well coated, and many specifiers choose 316 stainless for promenades and office forecourts. The port of Durban and Richards Bay bring container yards, warehouses in Prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni and Pinetown, and truck traffic that hits posts and guardrails. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has a university, government offices and industrial areas, and Newcastle has steel and textile plants. Complexes and estates along the north coast run boom gates and speed humps. Heavy summer rain and sandy coastal soils make footings and drainage important. Most fabricators and precast yards are in the Durban industrial south and Pinetown.
Who asks for road barriers around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: jersey barriers separating a yard from a road or protecting tanks and pipes
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: barriers closing an unused entrance or a road during repairs
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: barriers closing part of a car park or protecting a shopfront during works
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Suppliers serving KwaZulu-Natal mostly work from here: prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni, Pinetown, New Germany and Cato Ridge. The jobs that come up most: 316 stainless on the coast, port and warehouse posts, estate boom gates on the north coast. When you ask for quotes, ask which grade of stainless or what coating is quoted if the site is near the sea.
Around KwaZulu-Natal the largest group asking is warehouses, factories and depots, which usually means jersey barriers separating a yard from a road or protecting tanks and pipes. Before you agree to anything: approval for public roads and access. Getting units there: N2 up and down the coast, N3 inland to Pietermaritzburg; crane trucks from the south basin.
