Want to prevent accidents and protect your property?
Bollards provide physical protection for your customers and your property.
Safety and security:
Bollards create a physical barrier between vehicles and pedestrians, protecting people in walking areas from accidental or intentional vehicle intrusions.
Bollards act as a protective barrier around storefronts, gas stations, and other vulnerable areas, minimizing the risk of costly damage from vehicle impacts.
Strategic Placement Locations:
What Bollards Protect
Bollards are short, sturdy posts that block vehicles from areas meant for people, storefronts, or equipment. On commercial property they guard building entrances and glass storefronts, shield fuel pumps, utility cabinets, and electrical equipment, define pedestrian zones, and protect drive-through lanes and ATMs. The right bollard stops a vehicle before it reaches what’s behind it.
Bollard Types
We install three categories:
- Fixed — permanently anchored posts for steady protection of storefronts, walkways, and equipment. Often a steel pipe set in concrete and capped or sleeved.
- Removable — lock into a ground socket and lift out when access is needed, useful for controlled entry points and service lanes.
- Crash-rated — engineered and tested to stop a vehicle at a defined speed and weight, for high-security or high-risk locations.
Installation Methods
How a bollard is installed determines how much it can stop. Surface-mounted bollards bolt to existing pavement and suit visual guidance and low-impact protection. Embedded bollards are set into a footing — a steel post in a concrete foundation — which is what gives a bollard real stopping power. Crash-rated bollards follow the tested foundation and post specification that earned their rating; deviating from that spec voids the protection. We install to the method the protection level requires, not just what’s quickest.
Impact Specs: ASTM F3016 & ASTM F2656
Bollard protection is testable, not guesswork. ASTM F3016 covers surrogate testing of vehicle impact protective devices at low speeds — the standard relevant to storefront and pedestrian-area bollards, which rates devices by the speed and vehicle they stop. ASTM F2656 covers higher-speed crash testing of vehicle security barriers, used where the threat is a faster or heavier vehicle, such as government, financial, or transportation sites, and rates barriers by vehicle weight and speed plus how far the vehicle penetrates. We match the bollard’s rating to the risk at your location rather than installing a post that looks protective but isn’t tested for the job.
Applications
Storefront and entrance protection is the most common request, followed by equipment and utility shielding, pedestrian-zone definition, and drive-through or ATM protection. We assess what needs protecting, the likely vehicle speed and approach, and choose a fixed, removable, or crash-rated bollard installed to the matching method.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bollard Installation in Central Atlanta, GA
Are parking bollards easy to install?
A simple surface-mounted guidance bollard is straightforward. Real protection is another matter: an embedded bollard needs a concrete footing, and a crash-rated bollard must follow the exact foundation and post specification that earned its rating. We install to the method the protection level requires so the bollard actually performs.
What’s the difference between a crash-rated and a standard bollard?
A standard fixed bollard provides everyday protection and visual deterrence. A crash-rated bollard is tested to stop a vehicle at a defined speed and weight — under ASTM F3016 for low-speed storefront protection or ASTM F2656 for higher-speed security barriers. We match the rating to the actual risk.
What standards govern bollard impact resistance?
ASTM F3016 covers low-speed vehicle impact protective devices (storefronts, pedestrian areas); ASTM F2656 covers higher-speed crash testing of vehicle security barriers, rated by vehicle weight, speed, and penetration. The right standard depends on the speed and type of vehicle the bollard needs to stop.
Can bollards be removable?
Yes. Removable bollards lock into a ground socket and lift out when you need vehicle access — handy for controlled entries and service lanes — then reinstall to restore protection.
Where should we put bollards on our property?
Common spots are building entrances and glass storefronts, fuel pumps and utility/electrical cabinets, pedestrian zones, and drive-through or ATM lanes. We assess approach paths and likely vehicle speed to place them where they’ll actually stop a vehicle.
Can you repair or replace damaged bollards?
Yes. We remove damaged bollards and install replacements matched to the protection level the location needs, properly anchored or footed for impact.
