bollards

Bollards designed for low and high impact situations

CHOOSING A CRASH TESTED BOLLARD

AS 2890 recognises the use of protective devices where required to protect buildings, pedestrian areas and fixed objects from vehicle damage.

It should be recognized that rigid devices are themselves a hazard; they have the potential to cause serious injuries and damage. The intention of AS/NZS 3845.2 is that these devices are only installed at locations where the risk with the device installed is significantly less than the risk without the device.

To avoid possible fatalities MRWA requires bollards in high speed zones to be frangible specifying the removable traffic bollard

ENERGY ABSORBING BOLLARD

Energy Absorbing Bollards are certified crash tested bollards, (secured 1 m depth using a reo cage) designed to reduce impact force upon passengers during high force collisions. Certified crash-rated bollards should be used where vehicle containment at high speed is required.

Unlike the Impact Recovery Bollards the focus is on improving passenger safety not reducing on going maintenance.

CRASH TESTED IMPACT RECOVERY BOLLARDS & FOOTINGS

Crash tested tp survive low to medium imapct and recover. For most carparks, the objective is not hostile vehicle protection — it is protecting assets and keeping the development safe, functional and presentable.

Impact Recovery Bollards provide a low cost alternative where low-speed impact resilience, reduced maintenance and whole-of-life cost savings are the priority.

REMOVABLE TRAFFIC BOLLARDS

MRWA specified for use on highways.

Designed to be strong yet frangible upon high speed impact, yet preserving the surrounding foundations these bollards provide a combination of safety and resilience.

Secured in-ground using ZERO WASTE Foundations. Footings remain undamaged following multiple impacts (low or high speed)

Tools required.

IMPACT RECOVERY BOLLARDS

Have a strong resistance core to prevent deflection beyond twenty degrees and shock absorbers that allow bollard to slowly recover instead of springing back. In-ground or Surface Mount.

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 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

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.

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

2017+Bollard+before.JPG

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

DISABLED BAY BOLLARDS.jpg

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.

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.

Carparks

Great for carparks. Highly durable Bollards made from Advanced Polymers are impact, scratch , dent resistant, will not chip or fade like powder coated bollards and are non-conductive. Secured using Impact Recovery System bollards become reusable even following severe impact

Impact Tested to 10 kmph

Bike Paths

Low Impact Safety Bollards were developed for MRWA to prevent vehicle entry to bike paths but also reduce the risk of injury to bike riders, reduce the cost of maintenance, preserve footpaths and surrounding paving and be removable to allow access for service vehicles. MRWA striping available

Low Impact Bike Path Bollards (MRWA)

Shopfronts

An every day surface Mount bollard (and any lightweight bollard) will not prevent vehicle entry. For shopfronts we recommend surface Mount Impact Recovery to prove visual deterrent but Unground Impact Recovery to prevent vehicle entry

Disabled Bays

Unlike steel bollards, Advanced Polymer Bollards are far more durable and won't damage vehicles if impacted. They don't fade, dent or scratch like steel bollards and with no springs, bollards won't become "floppy" over time and cause litigation risks.

Stop damage to vehicles!

Unlike steel bollards, Advanced Polymer Bollards are far more forgiving with a soft surface - protecting vehicles against damage when impacted. If secured using the Impact Recovery System Bollards they provide even greater protection against damage

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
