Johannesburg notes on security & access
Ram raids on shopping centres, cellphone shops and ATMs keep security bollards in demand from Northcliff to the south. Ask what a post is built to stop, because a hollow tube bolted into paving only deters. Townhouse complexes in Fourways and Melville often fit removable posts at a second gate, and warehouses in City Deep and Wynberg want yellow steel posts at dock doors and racking ends to keep forklifts and trucks off the walls.
Sites and streets in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg the bollard question is usually about the sidewalk. Minibus taxis pulling onto pavements around the CBD ranks, delivery trucks mounting kerbs in Marshalltown and Braamfontein, and cars parked across shop entrances in Soweto and along Louis Botha Avenue all push owners and the city towards rows of posts. Shopping centres and cash handling sites deal with ram raids, while townhouse complexes from Fourways to the south want boom gates and humps. Steel fabricators and precast suppliers sit in City Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, close to the M1, M2 and N12. Under old CBD paving there are cables, fibre and water mains nobody has drawn properly, so ask about a cable locator and a municipal wayleave before anyone breaks ground.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: shopfronts, ATMs and mall entrances shielded from smash and grabs and ram raids
- Offices, hotels and car parks: office entrances and glass lobbies with posts set in a line across the forecourt
- Warehouses, factories and depots: gas meters, fuel lines and transformer kiosks kept clear of trucks
Local tips for Johannesburg
Asked for most in Johannesburg: sidewalk and taxi rank bollards, ram raid posts for shops, complex boom gates. Where the installers and yards are: city Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, with yards along the M1 and N12. A useful tip: ask who arranges the wayleave and the service scan before sidewalk work starts.
Sizes vary: 900 to 1,200 mm high, about 1.2 m clear gap. Here, shops, malls and petrol stations lead the requests, typically for shopfronts, ATMs and mall entrances shielded from smash and grabs and ram raids. One local point to raise: crane trucks deliver from yards in the south and east; installers cover the whole city.
