The protective bollard project
- Structural robustness
- Impact resistance
- End-to-end project management
- Institutional compliance
- Exterior galvanized finish
A major technical constraint for the security bollards was integrating an engineer’s plan for installation, including a concrete block anchored into the ground to ensure maximum stability and full compliance with applicable standards.
Project completed thanks to our partners
The bollard project in a few figures
Months
Design, fabrication, and coordination of certifications.
Days
Complete on-site installation.
Government requirements and forms to be complied with.
Outcome of the security bollard project
The 316L steel bollards feature a galvanized finish, ensuring optimal protection against corrosion and the elements.
Thanks to precision TIG welding, laser cutting, and rigorous coordination of certifications, the installation was completed efficiently in three days.
The client now benefits from:
Durable outdoor protection
A structure compliant with institutional (government) standards
A solid installation anchored in concrete
A fully managed project, from design to installation
Services performed
Shop drawing
Design of a 3D plan for the security bollards to turn the client’s idea into a concrete technical solution.
TIG welding
TIG welding was used due to the outdoor environment and the strength and finish requirements.
Laser cutting
Certain bollard components required precision laser cutting to ensure an exact fit for a specific part of the bollard.
Engineer certification
The steel bollard project had to be validated by an engineer to meet several technical and regulatory constraints, including anchoring into a concrete block and applicable institutional standards.
Galvanization certification
Certification confirming that the galvanization treatment enables durable outdoor use, with protection against corrosion and the elements.
Q&A on protective bollards
What is a bollard?
A bollard is a demarcation element between a pedestrian area and a roadway. It is a cylindrical mass installed to protect the pedestrian section and separate roadways in high-traffic areas.
Its main role is to reduce the risk of accidents in high-traffic areas by creating a robust physical barrier between vehicles and pedestrians. It is also referred to as a security bollard, designed to act as an impact-resistant bollard in high-traffic urban environments.
A bollard is particularly useful for road traffic, parking, and pedestrian areas, especially in front of public buildings, businesses, and institutions, where a stainless-steel bollard provides both protection and durability.
Why use 316L steel
316L stainless steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance. Its surface will not tarnish, even in outdoor environments exposed to weather, salt, and humidity.
It resists wear, making it perfectly suited for outdoor installations. It is also the medical-grade steel, recognized for never corroding.
The “L” stands for Low Carbon. This low carbon content allows welds to hold up better by reducing the risk of corrosion at welded joints.
316L steel is therefore an excellent choice for any security bollard project intended for commercial or municipal applications.
