How to choose the right bollard
Three things decide the right bollard for a site: the vehicle it must stop, the ground it goes into, and how often vehicles need to pass.
Crash rating
Start with the largest vehicle and the highest speed that could reach the line. Each product page shows its tested rating. For example, the Terra Static Jupiter is rated PAS 68, 7.5t at 80kph.
Foundation depth
Where pipes, cables or podium slabs limit digging, a shallow mount bollard is the practical choice. The Terra Shallow Venus needs an embedment depth of only 300mm.
Access, spacing and finish
Use static bollards where no vehicle should pass, and automatic bollards where authorised vehicles need to get through, such as car park and site entrances. Spacing is set so people, prams and wheelchairs can pass but vehicles cannot. Bollards are polyester powder coated as standard, with a range of sleeves including stainless steel to suit the surrounding design.
