Corporate Bollard Applications

Corporate businesses need functional and effective infrastructure to safeguard the property and its employees. Part of this is ensuring unauthorized vehicles can’t access designated corporate areas. Bollards effectively restrict vehicular access while protecting pedestrians from potential vehicular accidents.

Explore the different corporate bollard uses, benefits, types and design considerations and learn why Blockaides is the perfect solution for your business bollard needs.

Uses of Bollards for Businesses

Bollards offer some protection by diverting traffic away from business premises and directing it to safe entry points, including loading zones. They are physical barriers that designate parking areas and pedestrian walkways for employees.

They also enhance the environment’s aesthetic appeal by blending with the building’s architecture and style, appearing uniform and professional.

Benefits of Building Protection Bollards

Corporate bollards offer several benefits:

• Improved safety: Bollards create pedestrian zones to protect them from potential vehicles, reducing the risk of injury.
• Versatility: They can be used in various settings and include different varieties, such as lighted bollards and removable options.
• Customizable: Bollards can be customized with accessories such as caps, covers and wrap covers as required.

Types of Corporate Bollards

Explore the various bollard types Blockaides offers. All are made of high-quality steel, carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum for superior strength and longevity.

Fixed or Surface Mounted Bollards

These permanent bollards are the most common, creating a secure barrier for pedestrian protection. Directly embedded, flange or base plate options offer varying degrees of protection against wayward vehicles.

Removable Bollards

Removable bollards have internal and external locks, allowing them to be moved around, leaving the ground sleeves less visible. Internal lock bollards are better if you don’t move them around often, while external bollards’ locks can be accessed quickly if you move them more frequently.

Automatic Bollards

By using pneumatic, electric or hydraulic power, automatic bollards move up and down with a remote control, keypad or from a control room to temporarily allow vehicles to enter a restricted area.

Crash-Rated Bollards

Protect your corporate property, assets and staff against various vehicle collisions with crash-rated bollards. Low-speed crash-rated bollards protect against vehicles traveling between 9 and 32.5 miles per hour (mph), while high-speed crash-rated bollards protect against speeds of up to 50 mph.

Design Considerations of Business Protection Bollards

Bollards must be constructed of highly durable materials to offer the utmost protection. Steel, stainless steel and aluminum are ideal as they offer strength, making them suitable for their intended purpose.

Bollard accessories include “car wash,” “sold here” and “propane” wrap covers to direct customers to these businesses, while different head design styles, such as flat, dome, Bishop and Kitchener, allow further customization.
