Bollard types in Polokwane: local notes
Precast domes and square posts made in Ladanna are the usual pick for shopping centres and the CBD. Transport yards use thick steel pipe, concrete filled and painted, at fuel islands and workshop doors. Stainless posts are mainly at newer offices and banks. Timber suits lodges and game farms toward Haenertsburg and the bushveld, and solar bollard lights get strong sun most of the year.
Who protects what in Polokwane
Trucks heading for Beitbridge on the N1 run right past Polokwane, and that freight corridor explains much of its traffic control work. Truck stops, fuel depots, warehouses and transport yards in Ladanna and along the N1 want heavy posts, boom gates and guardrails, while the city itself is the shopping and government hub for most of Limpopo. Big malls, the CBD with its taxi ranks, provincial departments, hospitals and the university at Mankweng all ask for bollards, speed humps and controlled parking. Bendor and Flora Park have complexes and estates with gatehouses. Precast yards and fabricators are mostly in Ladanna and the industrial areas, and Pretoria is about 270 km south.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a clean row in front of glass shopfronts and mall entrances
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: university plazas, hospital entrances and government building fronts
- Warehouses, factories and depots: food and pharmaceutical plants where painted steel is not wanted
