Selecting a

protective bollard

AS 2890 recognises the use of protective devices, including bollards, where required to protect buildings, pedestrian areas and fixed objects from vehicle damage. For most carparks, the objective is not hostile vehicle protection — it is protecting assets and keeping the development safe, functional and presentable. For this reason Deptartment of Transport, City of Perth and Fremantle chose the Impact Recovery Bollards that provide a cost-effective solution to a multitude of problems

Advanced Polymer "Flexible" Bollard can be used for low speed environments and industrial applications
Impact Recovery Bollards (Advanced Polymer/ Steel or Stainless Steel) are recommended where low-speed impact resilience, reduced maintenance and whole-of-life cost savings are a priority.
Certified crash-rated bollards should be used where vehicle containment is required
Bollard Covers can be used to improve the resilience and lifespan of steel bollards if footings are good

more resilient surface mount bollards

Surface Mount

When a surface mount bollard is impacted either the base bends or the bolts rip from the concrete or asphalt. Although often sold as protection against ram raids- if the welding holds the protection is provided by the strength of the base plate and securing bolts

bollards need to be impact resistant

In-ground

If you increase the strength of the bollard, the impact force is then directed toward the footing, and as something's got to give, the footing is dislodged creating a litigation risk and costly repairs - We have a solution

steel in-ground bollards

Large footings still get damaged!

By increasing the size of the concrete footing reduces the risk of the footing being dislodged but doesn't stop it from being damaged when impacted- We have a solution.

bollard maintenance problems

The real cost

This council bought a cheap pine bollard, but soon found that replacing it was definitely NOT cheap, costing them more than $1000 several times a year.

stainless bollards

Stainless Steel

Many people confuse Stainless steel Tube (which is like tinfoil) with Pipe which is impact resistant. A second problem is poor quality imports- beware cheap imports they will cost you dearly and look terrible in no time

cheap bollards

Steel Bollards

Historically steel was the most popular choice, but steel is not impact resistant, rigid and unforgiving. A steel Bollard less than 5 mm wall thickness will bend upon impact, scuff, dent (fade and chip if powder coated or painted) - looking unsightly in no time.

dangerous spring-loaded bollards

Spring loaded disaster

Spring loaded bollards provide no resistance or protection whatsoever - creating dangerous litigation risks and become "floppy" over time - We have a solution.

impact tested bollards

Provide protection

Provide protection and save the valuable foundations from damage. You can choose from steel, stainless steel or Advanced Polymer

the ultimate plastic bollard

Dent resistant

Most plastic bollards / bollard covers are 1-3 mm thick, so dent and crack if impacted. ZERO bollards & covers are 7 mm thick (made from a material that will self-recover from impact) making them highly resistant to impact and denting - greatly improving resilience and lifespan
