What is a Bollard?

A bollard is a sturdy, short piece of metal pipe designed to serve as a protective barrier in various environments. Bollards play a crucial role in safeguarding pedestrians, buildings, and valuable assets from potential vehicle collisions. Commonly seen around car parks, bollards provide essential security by preventing unauthorized access and minimizing the risk of accidental damage.

Typically, bollards are powder-coated in a bright "Safety Yellow" colour, ensuring high visibility and serving as a clear warning to drivers. This vibrant coating not only enhances the durability of the bollard by protecting it from the elements but also increases its effectiveness as a visual deterrent, reducing the likelihood of accidents.

Bollards are versatile safety devices, perfect for protecting a wide range of assets. Whether it’s ensuring the safety of pedestrians in high-traffic areas, protecting staff within a worksite, or securing valuable property like banks, bollards are a key component in maintaining order and safety. They are integral to the design of car parks, roadways, and any other location where the separation of vehicles and pedestrians is crucial.

In addition to car parks, bollards are often found in front of storefronts, along footpaths and in front of building entrances, where they provide an essential line of defense against accidental or intentional vehicle impacts. By strategically placing bollards, businesses and municipalities can effectively protect both people and property, ensuring a safer environment for all.
