Using bollards for separation and monument protection

We have spent a long time in the barrier industry. Our work involves us providing a series of products to businesses and communities all over the UK. This includes barriers, handrails, column and corner protection, and bollards. We install these items too. In addition, we can help our clients with site design and general consultancy.

No matter where it is you live, you have likely seen bollards at some stage. You might not have given them much attention though. However, when people use them properly, they act as silent heroes of a sort. This can make them a major part of the safety infrastructure.

Because you can create a bollard using many different materials, the composition is not universal. One thing that is though, is that they protect roads, pedestrians, and properties. This is why you can find them near locations like city plazas, public spaces, and car parks. There are multiple reasons why you would want to use these installations. We want to look at two specific ones below.

Separation

One excellent use for bollards is separating walkways from parking spaces. As well as managing and slowing motorist traffic, these items can alter the behaviour of pedestrians. Installing a row of them divides the walkways from the roads and car parks physically. Not only this, but they create a visual distinction between them. This aids pedestrians in keeping away from danger. They will walk along the path in a uniform manner.

Keeping the monuments safe

Bollard installations are useful for creating barriers around monuments too. You can use them in this manner in high traffic areas. Primarily they can offer protection against vehicles, including terrorist attacks as well as intentional attempts to cause damage. On top of this they can protect against people on foot who may touch or vandalise the monuments.
