Potchefstroom notes on bollard types
Decorative cast concrete and cast iron style posts fit the older streets and heritage buildings, while campuses tend to choose plain precast or painted steel that is easy to replace. Timber posts with chain keep cars off grassed areas at sports fields and parks. Bollard lights along campus and complex footpaths help where students walk late, and solar models avoid trenching under old paving.
Sites and streets in Potchefstroom
Students, oak trees and old streets give Potchefstroom a different set of problems from the mining towns nearby. A large university campus, schools, colleges and student housing mean thousands of pedestrians crossing roads near Tom Street and the campus edges, so speed humps, chain and post barriers, and posts that keep cars off lawns and footpaths are common requests. The older town centre has heritage buildings where decorative posts suit better than yellow steel. A military base, agricultural research and a light industrial area add access control jobs. Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park have complexes with boom gates. Johannesburg is about 120 km up the N12 for specialist units.
Typical steel bollards requests in the area come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: protecting hospital entrances and delivery bays from reversing vehicles
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: posts protecting the gatehouse, meter boxes and the corners of entrance islands
- Municipalities and public spaces: posts around substations, pump stations and public toilet blocks
