INSTALLING BOLLARDS | ZERO CIVIL

Installing bollards is now crazy simple!

Ground sockets and bollards can be installed from a standing position, facing traffic. REFER TO NOTES BELOW

HOW IT WORKS

PDF DIRECTIONS

STEP 1 : INSTALL GROUND SOCKET

STEP 2 : INSTALL IRS

STEP 3: INSTALL BOLLARD

STEP 4 : SECURE STUD

Insert one ground socket into a truncated socket to extend depth to 650 mm

Insert installation tool into ground socket & use to position socket in hole

Use installation tool to check alignment of socket before concrete cures

Pour concrete to ground level (if in paved area allow room for paving) and dress off

Attach rings to internal core using clamps provided (leaving around 20 mm to allow for insertion of stud beneath ring)

Drop Impact Recovery System into ground socket using force! so taper finishes flush with ground level

Should look like this once installed.

Slip bollard over rings (if tight- use lubricant) and "wiggle it just little bit"

Insert stud beneath bottom ring and whallah, finished!

Adjust installation tool by fitting taper at 370 mm from base for 350 mm Depth footing and 670 mm for 650 mm depth footing. This ensures tool does not lock in.

You will need screwdriver to tighten clamps when attaching Rings to Resistance Core

You need Allen key to secure the stud in the bollard base (vandal-proof studs available)

Main thing to remember is that these foundations will last 100 years or more if installed correctly, so do cut corners

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Ground Socket is installed flush with surface and must be completely encased in concrete. A minimum of 150 mm quality 30MPa concrete is required on all sides of socket to protect surrounding paving and socket from damage when bollard is impacted.

2. Pierce base of socket (weak spot provided) using screwdriver or drill and place rubble beneath socket to allow drainage.

3. Allow space for paving/ asphalt so ground socket finishes level with road or footpath (no trip factors)

4. When digging hole- ensure sand does not fall in making footing tapered as this will make the footing unstable. If soil is too dry and sandy we suggest making frame out of wood or reo cage to support concrete footing

5. DO NOT USE flexible grout or rapid set, as rapid set is not resistant to impact and grout will enable socket to over-flex and possibly cause damage.

6. Make sure you install caps once installation tool is removed, especially before spraying asphalt.

PAVED AREAS /ASPHALT

Core drill or remove pavers and dig hole depth of ground socket (350 or 650 mm depth) allowing space for paving/ asphalt so ground socket finishes level with road or footpath (no trip factors)

Pierce base of socket (weak spot provided) using screwdriver or drill and place rubble beneath socket (to allow drainage) and alit concrete to secure socket in position..

Use installation tool to position socket upright in hole and pour concrete level with ground (allowing room for paving/ asphalt if necessary). Check alignment.

Once concrete has cured, spin the installation tool to remove and cap off the socket or install the resistance core so rubble does not enter the socket.

FREE-STANDING BOLLARDS - SOIL

When installing sockets directly in soil you need a large footing so it is more imperative than ever that you make the concrete reusable (Min 30MPa) minimum 650 mm depth x 400 mm width.

NB: Socket does not alter the size concrete footing required- it is simply a protective shield to make the concrete footing re-usable.Socket is installed flush with surface and must be completely encased in concrete.

We recommend you install a 650 mm - 1m x 400 mm square foundation to provide stability and ensure against dislodgement when an item is impacted.

For bollards likely to be impacted by trucks or heavy vehicles increase depth accordingly and you can use a reo cage for further support.
