SECURITY BOLLARDS

Security bollards placed at ingress points are an excellent way to guard against vehicle infringement while still allowing pedestrian access. Until now, most security bollards have taken the form of generic pipes and cylinders that offered little in the way of design or lighting functionality. An integral security solution is now available as an optional enhancement to Forms+Surfaces’ Knight™ and Light Column bollards. By adding a pre-engineered and fully-tested security core to our existing designs, we can offer beautiful and efficient lighting bollards that also meet the stringent hi-impact crash requirements normally attained only with unattractive pipe barriers.

Permanently embedded and removable versions available
Non-illuminated option available
Tested using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by a professional engineering consultant
Tested and passed a very demanding set of impact criteria
Tests were performed using our bollards set in permanent concrete footings spaced 42" apart (to assure a minimum of two bollards being hit) and struck by a vehicle at a 90 degree impact
The impact simulation found the bollards to meet a level of K2.7 impact kinetic energy, which is equivalent to stopping a 5,500 lb. vehicle traveling at a minimum test velocity of 40mph
