Western Power Bollards can be secured directly in-ground (1800 L) but you can choose to secure your bollards using the Impact Recovery System to substantially reduce maintenance costs (making footings & bollards re-usable following severe impact).
NON-CONDUCTIVE BOLLARDS
Secured directly in-ground I withstand light impact and self recover. If badly impacted I need replacing.

SURFACE MOUNT IMPACT RECOVERY
I withstand light to medium impact and self recover. If badly impacted both the bollard and footing are re-usable.

NON-CONDUCTIVE BOLLARD COVERS
I am 190 mm O.D. used to make steel 150 mm Bollards Impact Resistant and non-conductive.
Use chart to determine most suitable installation method. Details below
Option 1.
In-ground
Advanced Polymer Bollards are made from a revolutionary new polymer that is not only non-conductive but also absorbs impact and recovers following multiple impacts.
Can be installed directly inground and will "flex" allowing for low speed impact without damage. To protect against more severe impact- Refer to Impact Recovery Bollards
Option 2 .
In-ground concrete filled
Bollards can be concrete filled, but that turns them back into rigid bolalrds- and this can happen! We suggest concrete filling only to ground level- reinforcing the bollard where most vulnerable to damage from impact but still allowing the bollard to "flex".
Please ensure bollards are placed a max of 1 m from the item to be protected. This ensures that if badly impacted the Advanced Polymer Bollard creates a safe protective shield between electricsal item and the vehicle.
Option 3 .
Impact Recovery
Bollards can be secured using Surface Mount or In-ground Impact Recovery System.
Unlike spring loaded bollards, Impact Recovery Bollards remain rigid, (providing protection and cannot be deflected by hand) but when impacted by a vehicle the bollard deflects up to a maximum of 20 degrees and slowly recovers.
Both the bollard and surrounding foundations remain re-usable following even severe impact.

Advanced Polymer Bollards
Highly durable Non-Conductive Bollards made from Advanced Polymers are impact, scratch , dent resistant, will not chip or fade like powder coated bollards. Western Power/ Synergy Approved.
In-ground Advanced Polymer bollards Western Power
Protect Electrical infrastructure
Unlike steel bollards (shown above) Advanced Polymer Bollards are able to absorb light impact and self recover. They can be secured using the Impact Recovery System making both the bollard and concrete footings reusable following even severe impact. Western Power Approved

Impact Resistant
You can choose to secure them in-ground and bollards absorb light impact making them self recover from small bumps. If secured using the Impact Recovery System Bollards and footings are reusable following even severe impact

Impact Recovery
When secured using the Impact Recovery System bollards deflect (up to a maximum of 20 degrees) and self recover from light impact, and both your bollard and the surrounding foundations become reusable even following severe impact
Footings impact tested to 110 kmph
Stop damage to footings!
Unlike steel bollards, Advanced Polymer Bollards are far more forgiving- able to absorb light impact and self recover. When secured using the Impact Recovery System
Bollards and footings become reusable following even severe impact - saving thousands

Dent resistant
Most plastic bollards are 1-3 mm thick (shown left), so dent and crack if impacted. ZERO bollards & covers are 7 mm thick (made from an advanced polymer) making them highly resistant to sun, impact and denting - greatly improving resilience and lifespan

In-ground
You can install Advanced Polymer Bollards in-ground, or using the Impact Recovery System (making bollards and foundations re-usable even following severe impact)
Suggest Impact Recovery System when bollards may be subject to severe impact.

Surface Mount
You can surface mount Advanced Polymer Bollards using the Impact Recovery System (making bollards and foundations re-usable even following severe impact)
Perfect for carparks and locations where bollards will receive light impact
Surface Mount Impact Recovery bollards
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
