Newcastle notes on bollard types
With dry inland air, painted or galvanised mild steel pipe is the workhorse in Newcastle, and there is little reason to pay for marine grade stainless. Precast concrete domes and square posts from local yards are common around taxi ranks and public buildings, since they are cheap and hard to steal. Solar bollard lights are a sensible pick for parking areas and walkways in Madadeni and Osizweni where cabling is costly or load-shedding cuts the lights.
Sites and streets in Newcastle
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.
Typical stainless steel bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: food and pharmaceutical plants where painted steel is not wanted
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a clean row in front of glass shopfronts and mall entrances
- Contractors and event organisers: posts supplied to an architect's specification on commercial builds
