Security & access in Newcastle: local notes
In the factories and steel related plants, the big job is keeping forklifts and trucks away from racking, doorways and people, so concrete filled steel posts and guardrails take most of the budget. Shopfronts in the town centre ask for posts against ram raids and smash and grabs. Complexes and newer estates on the edges of town want boom gates and speed humps, and petrol stations along the N11 protect their pump islands.
Newcastle: the properties, the ground and the installers
Northern KwaZulu-Natal works hard, and Newcastle shows it: a steel works, textile and clothing factories, chemical plants and transport yards spread along the industrial areas and the N11. Factory sites need forklift protection, loading dock posts and guardrails, while the town centre and the taxi ranks serving Madadeni and Osizweni need sidewalk bollards and barriers against vehicles mounting the kerb. Winters are cold with frost, summers hot with thunderstorms, and there is no salt air at all, so ordinary galvanised steel lasts well. Precast concrete and steel posts can often be made locally, but heavier or specialised units may come from Durban or Gauteng, both several hours away by truck.
Who asks for security bollards around Newcastle, most often first:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: gas meters, fuel lines and transformer kiosks kept clear of trucks
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: shopfronts, ATMs and mall entrances shielded from smash and grabs and ram raids
- Contractors and event organisers: steel posts supplied and set in footings as part of a building contract
