What to know locally in Johannesburg
Galvanised and powder coated steel pipe posts are the workhorse on Johannesburg sidewalks, often concrete filled and painted black or charcoal for the CBD and Newtown. Precast domes and squat cylinders suit taxi rank edges and parking lots in Soweto, where a few heavy units are easier to replace after a hit. Stainless steel shows up at office entrances in Rosebank and Parktown, and lit bollards mark complex driveways where street lights fail during load-shedding.
Johannesburg: the properties, the ground and the installers
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.
Typical steel bollards requests in the area come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: yellow posts round fuel pumps, drive-through windows and ATM fronts
- Offices, hotels and car parks: square tube posts lining office forecourts and basement ramps
- Warehouses, factories and depots: concrete filled pipe at loading docks, door frames and gas lines
