When most people think of bollards, they imagine the simple posts placed in urban environments to block vehicles from certain areas. But bollards are more than just visual barriers; they are sophisticated, scientifically designed structures designed to absorb and distribute intense forces. Learn how bollards work to keep people and property safe.
A bollard is designed to stop, deflect, or redirect force, ensuring that any impact with a vehicle is safely absorbed and distributed. The forces bollards must withstand are quite intense. They are designed to handle thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds of pressure.
