There are two options for the installation process.
- Installation by core drilling into existing concrete. When using the core drill method simply use a core drill slightly larger than the removable pipe bollard insert.
- The installation of a new footing. When using a new footing set the removable pipe bollard inserts into the concrete as it is poured, or pre set the insert in desired locations.
Drainage is important and each installation will have different drainage scenarios. Insert length is typically 200mm (up to 600mm); dig your hole deeper that the insert to allow for drainage.
Maintenance Guidelines for Removable Bollards
- Generally, these bollards are low maintenance.
- If the bollard is used at least once per month then you will encounter few problems. Bollards that are left in the ground for months at a time can or will seize in place with dirt, rocks, etc.
