Installation Methods
TrafficGuard® Core-In Protections Systems make securing your facility with ASTM F3016 removable and fixed bollards make installation quick and inexpensive. Geared towards retrofit applications that require protection from vehicle incursions, bollards can now be installed with a minimally invasive installation process and few relatively simple steps in existing slabs of 3” or more.
The fixed bollard Core-In System is shipped with a hot dipped galvanized rebar cage, a US Patent 11,124,934 hot dipped galvanized stress / centering bracket and galvanized bollard post. The stress bracket makes centering and spacing bollards easy and fast.
The removable bollard Core-In Systems is shipped with a hot dipped galvanized pipe stand, a US Patent 11,124,934 hot dipped galvanized stress / centering bracket and galvanized helix lock bollard post. Removable ASTM F3016 bollards allow vehicle access where required and feature the patented (U.S. Patent 8,297,873) helix lock system, providing a clean look.
About ASTM F3016
- The ASTM F3016 standard details a testing method to determine a bollards ability to stop a 5,000 lb test vehicle at 10, 20 and 30 MPH.
- There are two passing penetration ratings; P1 & P2. P1 details a dynamic penetration of less than 1’. P2 details a dynamic penetration of less than 4’.
- Recommended spacing of bollards is no further than 48” from inside edge to inside edge between bollards.
- Bollard selection and placement decisions based upon site specific details and anticipated speeds shall be determined by the owner or their representatives.
- Consulting a traffic engineer may be advisable.
ASTM F3016 Crash Tested Bollard Purchase Checklist
- Request full-scale crash test summary from the bollard manufacturer that details actual test performance.
- Verify that the tests were conducted to the ASTM F3016 standard at an accredited testing facility. Beware of unverifiable “independent” tests.
- Finite engineering analysis is not equivalent to an ASTM F3016 crash test.
- Your best security is to purchase the bollards directly from the manufacturer who has performed the testing.
- Require steel certifications from manufacturer to verify steel complies with what was actually tested.
