Bollards are the least expensive, simplest, and most secure way to protect structures from security threats and vehicle impacts. Nowadays, a wide range of options are available when it comes to bollards. Attractive and versatile bollards are available to delineate, organize, and accent streetscapes, lawns, and parks. Not only do they bring value to the attractive and effective landscape planning, they also serve as traffic and security sentinels; directing people, bikes, and vehicles – doing double duty as both defense posts and site definition.

In recent times, interest in collapsible and retractable bollards, providing a secure and safe perimeter around structures, has grown exponentially. They are a great alternative to permanent bollards when it comes to providing safety, security, and decoration.

Why Use Removable and Collapsible Bollards for Security?

Removable and retractable bollards are a great choice when it comes to providing security as well as an attractive way to manage traffic flow in certain areas where you might need to change access. They are as reliable as permanent bollards and also provide you the option to retract in ground and re-open reliably with a little effort. Collapsible bollards are usually installed in concrete below grade. These bollards prevent trip-fall hazards as they are flush with the pavement when retracted.

Removable bollards offer pathway and roadway definition, especially in places where changing pedestrian and vehicle access is required. You can install them in pathways to divert traffic, deter intrusion, and define roadways or routes. Furthermore, they also work great when it comes to providing safety and protection to structures and buildings while still maintaining pedestrian freedom. You can use them with fixed bollards for changing purposes across the landscape setting.

One of the best advantages of removable bollards is the mobility. They can be easily set up in any space you want in order to block off traffic without spending too much. In short, the temporarily installation of these bollards can help you change the layout of any open space to suit a specific situation. Of course, you can bring the space back to its original layout by simply detaching them.

Collapsible and removable bollards are also easy to install and require lower initial costs as opposed to fixed bollards. If you want, you can have them made to be heavier than usual if you are installing them in crash prone spaces. They can either be surface-mounted or sub-surface mounted. The bollard is locked up on the concrete when it is surface-mounted. On the other hand, its sleeve is embedded on the ground if it is sub-surface mounted.

Apart from this, removable bollards with complimentary fixed bollard options are also available for outdoor locations where change of accessibility is required. Removable or lockable traffic bollards provide pathway and roadway definition, while diverting vehicle access when needed. You can also use them to allow pedestrian access, deter intrusion, and to define desired traffic flow. So they are a great alternative to fixed bollards when it comes to offering security and protection to critical infrastructures.
