Pretoria notes on bollard types
Diplomatic and government sites in Arcadia and Waterkloof lean towards stainless steel and clad steel posts that look neat in front of a building. Elsewhere the choice is practical: precast units from yards in the east for car parks in Montana and Silver Lakes, galvanised steel along loading areas in Rosslyn, and solar or mains bollard lights along estate roads in Mooikloof, where long driveways are dark between houses.
Pretoria: the properties, the ground and the installers
As the seat of government, Pretoria has more ministries, embassies and diplomatic residences than any other South African city, and that sets the tone for bollards here. Arcadia, Brooklyn and Waterkloof carry perimeter posts, retractable units at gates and hostile vehicle measures in front of busy buildings. Students crowd the sidewalks of Hatfield and Sunnyside, so the city and universities use posts to keep cars off walkways. On the east side, Silverton and Waltloo hold steel fabricators, precast suppliers and access control installers; Rosslyn and Pretoria West serve the vehicle plants and transport yards near the N4 and N1. Ground varies a lot: rock on the ridges, clay in the valleys and dolomite in parts of the south and east.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: university plazas, hospital entrances and government building fronts
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: posts at the clubhouse and gatehouse that match stainless balustrades
- Offices, hotels and car parks: office forecourts, hotel drop-offs and basement entrances
