Bollards are vertical posts that are used to control and direct traffic, enhance security, and protect buildings and pedestrians in professional environments. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, and each type has its own specific applications and advantages.
One of the most common types of bollards is the fixed bollard. Fixed bollards are often used to create barriers, such as to block off a sidewalk or protect a building entrance and are permanently installed in the ground. There are generally two types of fixed bollards, the regular and the shalow mount. The regular bollards require a deep foundation and the so-called shallow-mount bollards are still fully crash-rated with a very shallow foundation.
Then there are retractable or sliding bollards. These are often used in areas where access must be restricted at certain times, such as special entrances or events. In addition to crash-rated security, they offer an added feature because they can provide temporary access to a location when desired. Retractable bollards are bollards that can be raised or lowered as needed. Sliding bollards also provide this passageway however with the extra advantage that these 'slide aside' and therefore do not require a deep foundation.
Another type of bollard is the decorative bollard. These bollards are designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of an area, while also providing functional benefits. They are often used in parks, historic districts, and other areas where aesthetics are important. There are even bollards which look like trashcan’s or a park bench and even a crash-rated planter is an option.
In conclusion, bollards come in a wide variety of types and designs, and each type has its own specific applications and advantages. Whether you need to control traffic, enhance security, or improve the aesthetics of an area together with the security, there is a bollard that can meet your needs.
It is important to choose the right type of bollard for the specific application and consult with a Bavak professional to ensure proper installation and maintenance.
