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.

What Bollards Protect
Bollards are short, sturdy posts set into the ground to stop a vehicle from reaching whatever sits behind them. On commercial properties they most often guard storefronts and glass entrances, pedestrian walkways, fuel dispensers, utility equipment, ATMs, and exposed building corners — anywhere a driver who hits the gas instead of the brake could cause real damage or injury. The most common type for this work is the concrete-filled steel pipe bollard: a steel pipe set in the ground and filled with concrete, which gives it the mass to absorb a low-speed impact instead of simply bending over. Placed correctly, they take the hit so your storefront, your equipment, and the people near them do not.
Bollard Types & Crash Ratings
Not every bollard is engineered to the same job. The two standards below cover the range most commercial properties deal with:
| Standard | What it covers |
|---|---|
| ASTM F3016 | Lower-speed security bollards typical of storefronts and parking areas |
| ASTM F2656 | Higher-security, anti-ram bollards rated for high-speed vehicle impact |
Most storefront and parking-lot installations use fixed, permanent posts that handle the low-speed bumps and misjudged turns that happen in a parking lot. Higher-security, anti-ram units are a different class, built for sites with a genuine high-speed threat. Whether you need a rated bollard at all depends on what you are protecting and the speed a vehicle could realistically reach before it gets there — a post outside a slow parking aisle and a barrier at the end of a long approach lane are not the same problem.
How Bollards Are Installed
Installation follows a consistent sequence:
- Locate the protection point. We identify exactly what is being shielded and where the post has to sit to do it.
- Excavate or core. We dig or core the footing hole to the depth the post requires.
- Set the bollard. A concrete-filled steel pipe is positioned and held plumb.
- Backfill and anchor. The footing is filled and the post anchored so it stays put under impact.
- Finish. We finish with high-visibility paint or a reflective cover so the bollard is easy to see.
Permit requirements vary by property and jurisdiction, so we confirm what your site needs with the Miami-Dade County building authority before work begins rather than assuming.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bollard Installation in North Miami, FL
What is a bollard and what does it protect?
A bollard is a sturdy vertical post set into the ground to block or guide vehicles. In a commercial lot, bollards shield storefronts and glass entrances, pedestrian walkways, fuel dispensers, utility equipment, ATMs, and building corners from accidental vehicle impact. They turn a vulnerable point into a protected one — keeping an errant car from driving into a storefront or hitting a gas pump. We install concrete-filled steel pipe bollards to provide that physical protection where your property needs it.
What types of bollards do you install?
We install structural concrete-filled steel pipe bollards — the workhorse for impact protection — and can finish them with protective covers or paint for visibility. Bollards range from fixed permanent posts to higher-security crash-rated units depending on the threat level and what’s being protected. The right type depends on whether you’re guiding traffic, protecting pedestrians, or shielding high-value equipment like fuel dispensers. We help you match the bollard to the job and install it to do its work.
Are your bollards crash-rated?
Crash ratings apply to bollards tested against recognized impact standards — ASTM F3016, which covers lower-speed security bollards typical of storefronts and parking areas, and ASTM F2656 for higher-security applications. Whether your property needs a crash-rated bollard depends on what you’re protecting and the expected vehicle speed. For most storefront and walkway protection, properly installed concrete-filled steel pipe bollards provide strong impact resistance. We’ll discuss the appropriate standard for your situation and install accordingly.
Do I need a permit to install bollards?
Permit requirements vary by property and location, and some installations in Miami-Dade County may require a permit depending on the site, scope, and whether utilities or right-of-way are involved. Because it depends on your specific property, we recommend confirming with the local building authority before installation — and we can help you understand what’s typically involved. We don’t guess at permitting; we point you to the right authority so the install is done properly.
Can bollards be painted for visibility?
Yes. Bollards are commonly finished in high-visibility colors — safety yellow is the most common — or fitted with reflective plastic covers so drivers see them clearly, day and night. High visibility is part of how a bollard does its job: it warns drivers before contact and reduces minor bumps. We can paint bollards to match a safety scheme or your property’s look, and add reflective elements where nighttime visibility matters.
How much does bollard installation cost?
Bollard installation is priced by the number of bollards, the type (standard versus crash-rated), the anchoring and foundation work the site requires, and any finishing like covers or paint. Installing several bollards in one visit is more efficient than a single post. Site conditions — pavement, base, and nearby utilities — affect the work.
