School Bollard Applications

Bollards are crucial in increasing safety in school zones, where daily foot traffic is high. These safety installations prevent vehicle incursions and reduce accidents caused by wayward vehicles, making the school grounds safer for students, faculty, staff and visitors. Blockaides, Inc. manufactures high-quality bollards and barriers for pedestrian and infrastructure safety.

Benefits of School Safety Bollards

School zones benefit from having reliable and heavy-duty safety bollards in many ways.

Improving Safety, Security and Traffic Control

One of the biggest considerations for installing school bollards is the safety of everyone within the premises. Bollards serve as physical barriers on school grounds. Whether installed in parking lots, at building entrances or on top of stairs, these products effectively improve safety and security on campus. They also assist in traffic control, especially at pickup and drop-off points for school buses and private cars.

Protecting Pedestrians and Structures

Storefront incursions are common in the U.S. and also happen often in schools. Bollards protect people and structures by absorbing the impact of vehicles upon collision. They help minimize damage to school property and prevent vehicles from hitting pedestrians.

Types of School Safety Bollards

Blockaides, Inc. specializes in safety bollards suitable for various applications. The following bollards are most suitable for schools, colleges and university campuses:

Fixed Bollards

Fixed bollards are the most common type of bollards you see on the streets. Typically made of steel, stainless steel or aluminum, they are great for areas that require no vehicle access, such as walkways.

Removable Bollards

Removable bollards function similarly to fixed bollards, but their removable feature makes them ideal for areas that occasionally require vehicle access, such as pickup and drop-off points. They are as effective in restricting access to certain areas as fixed bollards but also offer flexibility and portability.

Manual Retractable Bollards

Manual retractable bollards are versatile options that can be locked upright or hidden in an in-ground casing. They feature a lift-assist system for easy raising and lowering. This type is ideal for parking lots and campus pedestrian areas, as well as school entrance and exit points.

Automatic Bollards

Automatic bollards provide on-demand access to certain entrance and exit points in universities. They offer flexibility and convenience in converting spaces into vehicle-friendly areas when necessary.

Design Considerations

Materials and design can impact the effectiveness of security bollards.

Material Selection Based on Specific Needs

Materials are an important factor when choosing the right school bollard. Aluminum is best if you prefer lightweight installations that work efficiently. Structural steel is great if you’re looking for strength and durability. Stainless steel is ideal for its strength, corrosion resistance and overall cost efficiency.

Customization Options for Branding or Visibility

Bollards go beyond providing pedestrian safety and access control. They are also customizable to achieve brand visibility. Blockaides, Inc. can design bollards with your school’s insignia and official colors. Make these security products stand out on school grounds by providing visibility even from afar.
