Bollard
A short, vertical steel post, typically fabricated from Schedule 40 or 80 pipe, solid round bar, or square tube, designed to protect building infrastructure, equipment, or pedestrians from vehicle impact. Bollards can be surface-mounted, embedded in concrete, or designed as removable.
Bollards serve as the first line of defense against vehicular intrusion in high-traffic industrial and commercial environments. Whether installed at loading dock entrances, equipment storage areas, or perimeter control points, a properly designed bollard must withstand repeated impact without permanent deformation or failure.
The choice between Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe depends on expected impact velocity and frequency, Schedule 80 provides approximately 40% greater wall thickness for demanding security applications. For maximum impact absorption, embedment depth and footing design are equally critical as the bollard's material grade.
Our team at Midwest Metal Fabrications engineers each bollard deployment to your facility's specific traffic patterns, ensuring protection that endures years of industrial use while maintaining aesthetic integration with your site.
