Definitions
- the present invention relates to an anti-ram bollard assembly and deployment of multiple bollard assemblies to arrest vehicular attacks, and to prevent penetration of the vehicle.
- barrier systems have since been employed with the intention of protecting buildings and structures from attacks.
- Metal or concrete barriers may be erected around a building to obstruct vehicular penetration.
- the barriers In order to resist large impacts from speeding heavy vehicles, the barriers have to be massive, resulting in a less aesthetic system.
- Barrier systems employing bollards may be more aesthetic.
- conventional bollards are useful primarily as a barrier.
- the conventional bollards In order to resist large impacts, the conventional bollards usually require large and deep bases, and deep excavations to anchor their bases. Because utilities transmission such as electricity lines, water pipes and communications lines are often buried underground, deep excavation to install bollards is costly and time-consuming. In addition, deep excavation causes disruption to utility services, inconvenience to pedestrian traffic, and often results in a less aesthetic landscape.
- Embodiments of the invention relate to an anti-ram bollard assembly and a barrier installation comprising a plurality of anti-ram bollard assemblies to prevent vehicles from penetrating the barrier installation.
- Embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous as the bollard assemblies may be installed in shallow trenches without the need for deep excavations that may disrupt various utility lines buried in the ground.
- the depth of such trenches may be about 1.00 m or less.
- the impact rating (i.e. maximum impact loading) of the bollard assemblies may be improved over conventional bollards of similar form factors. This may be achieved by various features as hereinafter described.
- Each bollard assembly comprises a base assembly, a bollard member attached to the base assembly and a reinforcement member attached to the base assembly which extends generally in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bollard member.
- the bollard assemblies may be constructed in various ways, including but not limited to the following.
- the base assembly may include an I-beam arrangement to which a lower end of the bollard member may be attached.
- the bollard member may be a hollow structure to receive a fill material therein upon installation to increase a mass of the bollard assembly.
- the reinforcement member may have a length greater than the length of the base assembly.
- the bollard assembly may be constructed and arranged to receive rebars to connect adjacent bollard assemblies.
- a plurality of bollard assemblies may be deployed to form a cohesive installation.
- the plurality of bollard assemblies may be arranged at a predetermined distance apart and connected by rebars to provide an enlarged effective base area for stabilizing the installation when an impact is received. If an impact is expected from a particular direction striking a first side of the bollard assembly, the reinforcement member of each bollard assembly may be arranged along generally the same direction and extending from a second opposed side of the bollard assembly.
- the reinforcement member may include a free end spaced apart from other adjacent bollard assemblies.
- a combination of these and other features are designed to increase the impact rating of a barrier installation without having to significantly increase the dimensions of the bollard assemblies.
- the deployment of an I-beam arrangement is to enhance the strength of the base assembly.
- the bollard member is to receive a fill material which is designed to constrain movement of the bollard member when it is struck, thereby minimizing shearing of the bollard member.
- the reinforcement member attached to the base assembly and rebars connecting various bollard assemblies are to provide an effective impact load transfer. More specifically, when one or more bollard assemblies in an installation is struck by a vehicle, the impact force is transmitted from the bollard member down to the base assembly and is dissipated through the reinforcement members as well as the network of rebars connecting adjacent bollard assemblies.
- the arrangement of the reinforcement member on an opposite side of the bollard assembly in respect of an incoming impact is to counter the impact force which tends to topple the bollard member.
- the network of bollard assemblies connected by rebars provide an enlarged effective base area so that a movement in one bollard assembly may be constrained by the rigid connection to adjacent bollard assemblies.

- FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate perspective views of a bollard assembly 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the bollard assembly 1 comprises a base assembly 20 , a bollard member 10 projecting from the base assembly 20 and at least one reinforcement member 30 attached to the base assembly 20 .

- the intermediate plate(s) 26 may be fixedly attached to the top and bottom plates 22 , 24 by welding to support the top and the bottom plates 22 , 24 .
- four intermediate plates 26 are provided in the base assembly 20 and disposed substantially perpendicular to one another.
- other number of intermediate plates 26 may be provided and may be disposed at other angles to one another.
- the two intermediate plates 26 may be disposed at about 180 degrees with respect to each other.
- the I-beam arrangement is to provide reinforcement to the base assembly 20 . More particularly, the intermediate plate 26 supports the top and the bottom plates 22 , 24 to prevent deformation due to static loading prior to impact loading.
- a bollard member 10 may be received in the base assembly 20 and integrated with the I-beam arrangement. More specifically, a lower end of the bollard member 10 may be arranged to be fixedly attached, such as by welding, to the top plate 22 , the bottom plate 24 as well as the intermediate plates 26 . Such an arrangement is to increase the strength and stability of the bollard assembly 1 . Exemplary arrangements of FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate the bollard assemblies of FIGS. 1A and 1B respectively with their top plates 22 removed. A lower end of the bollard member 10 is attached to a bottom plate 24 and supported by four intermediate plates 26 at the sides of the bollard member 10 . It should be appreciated that other arrangements allowing the bollard member 10 to be integrated with the I-beam arrangement may be envisaged in other embodiments of the invention.
- the bollard member 10 may be hollow to receive a heavyweight fill material which has high compressive strength, e.g., concrete, upon installation of the bollard assembly 1 .
- the fill material is to add substantial mass to the bollard assembly 1 to reinforce the bollard member 10 .
- the bollard member 10 Without a fill material in a hollow bollard member 10 , the bollard member 10 is prone to deformation, bending and even shearing when the bollard member 10 is struck by a large impact.
- the fill material absorbs part of the impact and constrains deformation of the bollard member 10 to prevent failure of the bollard member 10 .
- One or more reinforcement members 30 may be provided in the base assembly 20 to increase stability of the bollard assembly 1 .
- the impact force is transferred to the base assembly 20 and to the reinforcement members 30 to be dissipated to the surroundings, e.g. ground.
- a large base assembly 20 is therefore more capable of stabilizing the bollard assembly 1 when the bollard member 10 is struck by an impact.
- the reinforcement members 30 are to enlarge a base area provided by the base assembly 20 to increase stability of the bollard assembly 1 .
- One end of the reinforcement member 30 may be attached to the base assembly 20 while a distant free end 32 extends away from the base assembly 20 . In the embodiment of FIG.
- reinforcement members 30 are fixedly attached, such as by welding, to the bottom plate 24 of the base assembly 20 . While FIG. 3 illustrates the reinforcement members 30 as cylindrical rods, it should be appreciated that the reinforcement members 30 may take any other suitable forms. Although reinforcement members (first reinforcement members) 30 are illustrated as being attached to a bottom plate 24 , additional reinforcement members (second reinforcement members) may be attached to the top plate 22 of the base assembly 20 but separate from the first reinforcement members (not shown).
- the reinforcement members 30 may have a length which is greater than a length of the base assembly 20 , and a cross-section diameter or dimension which is substantially smaller than a height of the base assembly 20 . These proportions are advantageous in reducing material costs.
- Variations to the reinforcement members 30 may be made depending on the impact rating required of the bollard assembly 1 . Generally, to achieve higher impact rating, the number of reinforcement members 30 , length of reinforcement members 30 , cross-section area of reinforcement members 30 , or a combination thereof may be increased.
- the bollard assembly 1 may be connected to other bollard assemblies 1 to provide a cohesive installation which is capable of arresting large impact forces.
- intermediate plates 26 of each base assembly 20 may be perforated to receive rebars 104 there through to connect adjacent bollard assemblies together. Interconnection of several bollard assemblies 1 via the rebars 104 is described in greater detail in later paragraphs.
- a bollard assembly 1 As compared to a conventional bollard, a bollard assembly 1 according to embodiments of the invention is capable of providing a same impact rating yet requiring a smaller form factor.
- An exemplary bollard assembly 1 may have the following dimensions.
- the base assembly 20 may have a length (L BA ) of 0.50 m, a breadth (B BA ) of 0.50 m and a height (H BA ) of 0.175 m.
- the bollard member 10 may have a height (H BM ) of 1.20 m projecting from the top plate 22 of the base assembly 20 , an outer diameter (D BM ) of 0.194 m and an inner diameter of 0.178 m.
- several bollard assemblies 1 may be spaced apart by between about 1.0 m to about 1.5 m. Accordingly, for this and other embodiments, the base assembly 20 may be installed within about 1.00 m below grade level.
- a bollard assembly 1 is not limited to the above and may vary according to impact rating requirements and site conditions. Generally, to increase the impact rating of a bollard assembly 1 , one of the following parameters or a combination thereof may be increased: dimensions of a base assembly 20 (including height, length and breadth), thickness of the plates forming the base assembly 20 , dimensions of reinforcement members 30 (including length, diameter and cross-section area), and number of reinforcement members 30 .
- the base assembly 20 is illustrated as having a square cross-section and the bollard member 10 has a circular cross-section. It should be appreciated that the base assembly 20 and the bollard member 10 may have cross-sections of other shapes, including but not limited to, rectangle, square, circle, oval, triangle, and any other geometrical and non-geometrical shapes. Also, the bollard assembly 1 may be prefabricated and or assembled at the installation site using a high strength material including, but not limited to, steel. Prefabrication of the bollard assembly 1 is advantageous in providing reduced installation time and higher structure strength.
- FIG. 4A is a perspective view of a perimeter installation comprising several bollard assemblies 1 of FIG. 1A .
- a shallow trench 102 is provided in the ground in which several bollard assemblies 1 may be arranged therein and spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance.
- the trench 102 required may have a height of between about 0.20 m to about 1.00 m. The spacing of the bollard assemblies 1 would depend on the impact rating required of the installation.
- the bollard assemblies 1 are arranged such that their reinforcement members 30 are disposed generally along a path expected of an impact but opposite the side of the bollard assembly 1 receiving the expected impact. For example, if an impact is expected from a direction or path X towards a first side of a bollard assembly 1 , the reinforcement members 30 may be disposed generally along direction or path X. The reinforcement members 30 , however, are disposed on a second side (opposed to the first side) of the bollard assembly 1 . When a vehicle traveling along direction X strikes the bollard member 10 , the bollard assembly 1 tends to tilt in the direction of the impact.
- the reinforcement members 30 are to resist tensile and/or compression forces resulting from an impact, and thereby minimizing tilting and preventing dislodgement of the bollard assembly 1 .
- the bollard assembly 1 may also be arranged such that free ends 32 of the reinforcement members 30 are spaced apart from adjacent bollard assemblies 1 .

Abstract
An anti-ram bollard assembly (1) and an installation of the same to arrest impacts are provided. The bollard assembly includes a base assembly (20), a bollard member (10) attached to the base assembly and at least one reinforcement member (32) attached to the base assembly. The base assembly may include an I-beam arrangement to provide increased strength of the base assembly. Several bollard assemblies may be connected to form a cohesive installation to achieve a high impact rating. To this purpose, rebars (104) may be provided to connect the base assemblies of adjacent bollard assemblies. Further, the bollard member may be provided as a hollow member and may be subsequently filled with a high-strength material to prevent failure of the bollard member when it is being struck.
Description
- The present invention relates to an anti-ram bollard assembly and deployment of multiple bollard assemblies to arrest vehicular attacks, and to prevent penetration of the vehicle.
- In recent years for security reasons, many prominent establishments such as government buildings, embassies, convention centres, public transportation hubs and other perceived terrorist targets have been equipped with barrier systems to protect the establishments from vehicle attacks. Especially if the vehicle is heavyweight or moving at high speeds or carrying explosives, the attack can cause extreme destruction.
- Various barrier systems have since been employed with the intention of protecting buildings and structures from attacks. Metal or concrete barriers may be erected around a building to obstruct vehicular penetration. In order to resist large impacts from speeding heavy vehicles, the barriers have to be massive, resulting in a less aesthetic system.
- Barrier systems employing bollards may be more aesthetic. However, due to their small form factor and weight, conventional bollards are useful primarily as a barrier. In order to resist large impacts, the conventional bollards usually require large and deep bases, and deep excavations to anchor their bases. Because utilities transmission such as electricity lines, water pipes and communications lines are often buried underground, deep excavation to install bollards is costly and time-consuming. In addition, deep excavation causes disruption to utility services, inconvenience to pedestrian traffic, and often results in a less aesthetic landscape.
- Embodiments of the invention relate to an anti-ram bollard assembly and a barrier installation comprising a plurality of anti-ram bollard assemblies to prevent vehicles from penetrating the barrier installation.
- Embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous as the bollard assemblies may be installed in shallow trenches without the need for deep excavations that may disrupt various utility lines buried in the ground. The depth of such trenches may be about 1.00 m or less. Yet, the impact rating (i.e. maximum impact loading) of the bollard assemblies may be improved over conventional bollards of similar form factors. This may be achieved by various features as hereinafter described.
- Each bollard assembly comprises a base assembly, a bollard member attached to the base assembly and a reinforcement member attached to the base assembly which extends generally in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bollard member. The bollard assemblies may be constructed in various ways, including but not limited to the following. The base assembly may include an I-beam arrangement to which a lower end of the bollard member may be attached. The bollard member may be a hollow structure to receive a fill material therein upon installation to increase a mass of the bollard assembly. The reinforcement member may have a length greater than the length of the base assembly. The bollard assembly may be constructed and arranged to receive rebars to connect adjacent bollard assemblies.
- A plurality of bollard assemblies may be deployed to form a cohesive installation. The plurality of bollard assemblies may be arranged at a predetermined distance apart and connected by rebars to provide an enlarged effective base area for stabilizing the installation when an impact is received. If an impact is expected from a particular direction striking a first side of the bollard assembly, the reinforcement member of each bollard assembly may be arranged along generally the same direction and extending from a second opposed side of the bollard assembly. The reinforcement member may include a free end spaced apart from other adjacent bollard assemblies.
- A combination of these and other features are designed to increase the impact rating of a barrier installation without having to significantly increase the dimensions of the bollard assemblies. For example, the deployment of an I-beam arrangement is to enhance the strength of the base assembly. The bollard member is to receive a fill material which is designed to constrain movement of the bollard member when it is struck, thereby minimizing shearing of the bollard member.
- Further, the reinforcement member attached to the base assembly and rebars connecting various bollard assemblies are to provide an effective impact load transfer. More specifically, when one or more bollard assemblies in an installation is struck by a vehicle, the impact force is transmitted from the bollard member down to the base assembly and is dissipated through the reinforcement members as well as the network of rebars connecting adjacent bollard assemblies. The arrangement of the reinforcement member on an opposite side of the bollard assembly in respect of an incoming impact is to counter the impact force which tends to topple the bollard member. The network of bollard assemblies connected by rebars provide an enlarged effective base area so that a movement in one bollard assembly may be constrained by the rigid connection to adjacent bollard assemblies.

It will be understood, however, to one skilled in the art, that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process operations have not been described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure pertinent aspects of embodiments being described. In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to same or similar functionalities or features throughout the several views.
- Reference is made to
FIGS. 1A and 1B which illustrate perspective views of abollard assembly 1 according to one embodiment of the invention. Thebollard assembly 1 comprises abase assembly 20, abollard member 10 projecting from thebase assembly 20 and at least onereinforcement member 30 attached to thebase assembly 20. - The
base assembly 20 may comprise one or more I-beam (or H-beam) cross-section arrangements, which in turn comprise atop plate 22, abottom plate 24 and at least oneintermediate plate 26 interposed therebetween. The intermediate plate(s) 26 may be fixedly attached to the top andbottom plates bottom plates FIGS. 1A and 1B , fourintermediate plates 26 are provided in thebase assembly 20 and disposed substantially perpendicular to one another. However, it should be appreciated that other number ofintermediate plates 26 may be provided and may be disposed at other angles to one another. In the case where only twointermediate plates 26 are provided, the twointermediate plates 26 may be disposed at about 180 degrees with respect to each other. The I-beam arrangement is to provide reinforcement to thebase assembly 20. More particularly, theintermediate plate 26 supports the top and thebottom plates - A
bollard member 10 may be received in thebase assembly 20 and integrated with the I-beam arrangement. More specifically, a lower end of thebollard member 10 may be arranged to be fixedly attached, such as by welding, to thetop plate 22, thebottom plate 24 as well as theintermediate plates 26. Such an arrangement is to increase the strength and stability of thebollard assembly 1. Exemplary arrangements ofFIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate the bollard assemblies ofFIGS. 1A and 1B respectively with theirtop plates 22 removed. A lower end of thebollard member 10 is attached to abottom plate 24 and supported by fourintermediate plates 26 at the sides of thebollard member 10. It should be appreciated that other arrangements allowing thebollard member 10 to be integrated with the I-beam arrangement may be envisaged in other embodiments of the invention. - The
bollard member 10 may be hollow to receive a heavyweight fill material which has high compressive strength, e.g., concrete, upon installation of thebollard assembly 1. The fill material is to add substantial mass to thebollard assembly 1 to reinforce thebollard member 10. Without a fill material in ahollow bollard member 10, thebollard member 10 is prone to deformation, bending and even shearing when thebollard member 10 is struck by a large impact. With the addition of a suitable fill material, the fill material absorbs part of the impact and constrains deformation of thebollard member 10 to prevent failure of thebollard member 10. - One or
more reinforcement members 30 may be provided in thebase assembly 20 to increase stability of thebollard assembly 1. When a vehicle strikes thebollard member 10, the impact force is transferred to thebase assembly 20 and to thereinforcement members 30 to be dissipated to the surroundings, e.g. ground. Alarge base assembly 20 is therefore more capable of stabilizing thebollard assembly 1 when thebollard member 10 is struck by an impact. Thereinforcement members 30 are to enlarge a base area provided by thebase assembly 20 to increase stability of thebollard assembly 1. One end of thereinforcement member 30 may be attached to thebase assembly 20 while a distantfree end 32 extends away from thebase assembly 20. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3 , sixreinforcement members 30 are fixedly attached, such as by welding, to thebottom plate 24 of thebase assembly 20. WhileFIG. 3 illustrates thereinforcement members 30 as cylindrical rods, it should be appreciated that thereinforcement members 30 may take any other suitable forms. Although reinforcement members (first reinforcement members) 30 are illustrated as being attached to abottom plate 24, additional reinforcement members (second reinforcement members) may be attached to thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20 but separate from the first reinforcement members (not shown). Thereinforcement members 30 may have a length which is greater than a length of thebase assembly 20, and a cross-section diameter or dimension which is substantially smaller than a height of thebase assembly 20. These proportions are advantageous in reducing material costs. Variations to thereinforcement members 30 may be made depending on the impact rating required of thebollard assembly 1. Generally, to achieve higher impact rating, the number ofreinforcement members 30, length ofreinforcement members 30, cross-section area ofreinforcement members 30, or a combination thereof may be increased. - The
bollard assembly 1 according to embodiments of the invention may be connected toother bollard assemblies 1 to provide a cohesive installation which is capable of arresting large impact forces. To this purpose,intermediate plates 26 of eachbase assembly 20 may be perforated to receiverebars 104 there through to connect adjacent bollard assemblies together. Interconnection ofseveral bollard assemblies 1 via therebars 104 is described in greater detail in later paragraphs. - As compared to a conventional bollard, a
bollard assembly 1 according to embodiments of the invention is capable of providing a same impact rating yet requiring a smaller form factor. Anexemplary bollard assembly 1 according to an embodiment may have the following dimensions. Thebase assembly 20 may have a length (LBA) of 0.50 m, a breadth (BBA) of 0.50 m and a height (HBA) of 0.175 m. Thebollard member 10 may have a height (HBM) of 1.20 m projecting from thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20, an outer diameter (DBM) of 0.194 m and an inner diameter of 0.178 m. In an exemplary installation,several bollard assemblies 1 may be spaced apart by between about 1.0 m to about 1.5 m. Accordingly, for this and other embodiments, thebase assembly 20 may be installed within about 1.00 m below grade level. - Dimensions of various embodiments of a
bollard assembly 1 are not limited to the above and may vary according to impact rating requirements and site conditions. Generally, to increase the impact rating of abollard assembly 1, one of the following parameters or a combination thereof may be increased: dimensions of a base assembly 20 (including height, length and breadth), thickness of the plates forming thebase assembly 20, dimensions of reinforcement members 30 (including length, diameter and cross-section area), and number ofreinforcement members 30. - In
FIGS. 1A , 1B, 2A and 2B, thebase assembly 20 is illustrated as having a square cross-section and thebollard member 10 has a circular cross-section. It should be appreciated that thebase assembly 20 and thebollard member 10 may have cross-sections of other shapes, including but not limited to, rectangle, square, circle, oval, triangle, and any other geometrical and non-geometrical shapes. Also, thebollard assembly 1 may be prefabricated and or assembled at the installation site using a high strength material including, but not limited to, steel. Prefabrication of thebollard assembly 1 is advantageous in providing reduced installation time and higher structure strength. -
FIG. 4A is a perspective view of a perimeter installation comprisingseveral bollard assemblies 1 ofFIG. 1A . Ashallow trench 102 is provided in the ground in whichseveral bollard assemblies 1 may be arranged therein and spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance. In respect of the aboveexemplary bollard assembly 1 with abase assembly 20 having a height of about 0.20 m, thetrench 102 required may have a height of between about 0.20 m to about 1.00 m. The spacing of thebollard assemblies 1 would depend on the impact rating required of the installation. - The
bollard assemblies 1 are arranged such that theirreinforcement members 30 are disposed generally along a path expected of an impact but opposite the side of thebollard assembly 1 receiving the expected impact. For example, if an impact is expected from a direction or path X towards a first side of abollard assembly 1, thereinforcement members 30 may be disposed generally along direction or path X. Thereinforcement members 30, however, are disposed on a second side (opposed to the first side) of thebollard assembly 1. When a vehicle traveling along direction X strikes thebollard member 10, thebollard assembly 1 tends to tilt in the direction of the impact. Without thereinforcement members 30 to stabilize thebollard assembly 1, a sufficiently large impact would topple thebollard member 10, dislodge thebollard assembly 1 and eventually allowing the attacking vehicle to penetrate. Thereinforcement members 30, provided on a side of thebollard assembly 1 opposite to the expected impact, are to resist tensile and/or compression forces resulting from an impact, and thereby minimizing tilting and preventing dislodgement of thebollard assembly 1. Thebollard assembly 1 may also be arranged such that free ends 32 of thereinforcement members 30 are spaced apart fromadjacent bollard assemblies 1. - Impact rating of an installation of bollard assemblies may be further enhanced by connecting several bollard assemblies to provide a cohesive installation having an enlarged effective base area which in turn increases stability. To this purpose, one or
more rebars 104 may be threaded throughperforations 28 in theintermediate plates 26 of the base assemblies of adjacent bollard assemblies arranged at a predetermined distance from one another (seeFIG. 4B ). Therebars 104 may be removably arranged through theperforations 28, or may be fixedly attached, such as by welding to thebollard assembly 1, at the installation site. As illustrated inFIGS. 4B and 4C , a first plurality ofrebars 104 are provided throughintermediate plates 26 of adjacent bollard assemblies. A second plurality ofrebars 104 may also be provided in a generally perpendicular directing intersecting the first plurality ofrebars 104. As shown inFIGS. 4B and 4C , thevarious rebars 104 intersect the bollard assemblies to form a grid arrangement. Thevarious rebars 104 andreinforcement members 30 and at least portions of thebase assemblies 20 are encased in a bonding material, e.g., concrete to provide a reinforcedfoundation pad 106 for the installation 100 (seeFIG. 4D ). When one or more bollard assemblies in a completedinstallation 100 is struck by a vehicle, the enlarged base area formed by a combination of thereinforcement members 30 andrebars 104 interconnecting various bollard assemblies provide a stable foundation to constrain movement of thebollard assemblies 1. -
FIGS. 5A and 5B are various perspective views of possible layouts ofrebars 104. As illustrated,certain rebars 104 may intersect base assemblies of the bollard assemblies whileother rebars 104 may be spaced apart from the bollard assemblies. - A bonding material, e.g. concrete, may be provided in the
trench 102 to anchor the installation to the site and to provide a reinforcedconcrete foundation pad 106. If it is desired to conceal thebase assembly 20, thebase assembly 20 andreinforcement members 30 may be encased in the bonding material. To this purpose, a layer of the bonding material, between about 2.5 cm to about 6.0 cm, may be provided above thebase assembly 20 to conceal it. Alternatively, the bonding material may be suitably provided to allow thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20 to be visible and substantially flush with an adjoining surface, e.g. ground. Optionally, various finishes, e.g., tiles or any other forms of paver materials may be disposed around thebollard member 10. A finished appearance of an installation comprising several bollard assemblies is illustrated inFIG. 4 in which thebase assembly 20 is concealed whileseveral bollard member 10 project above a ground site to arrest impacts. Upon installation of the bollard assemblies, thebollard member 10 may be reinforced by filing with a rigid material with high compressive strength, e.g. concrete.FIG. 4D illustrates a completedinstallation 100 in which thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20 is substantially flush with an adjoining ground surface. -
FIG. 6A is a perspective view of a perimeter barrier installation provided withrebars 104 prior to encasing in concrete.FIG. 6B is a perspective view of theperimeter barrier installation 100 ofFIG. 6A in a completed state in an exemplary setting. AlthoughFIG. 6 illustrates the installation as an array ofbollard members 10, various modifications may be made to the installation. For example, the installation may be part of street furniture, e.g. lighting posts, signage posts, bus shelters, benches, planters and trash bins. This way, the installation may be rendered more aesthetic. - A general method of installing a plurality of bollard assemblies at a site is described as follows. The site is prepared by excavating a
shallow trench 102 for receiving the bollard assemblies. Dimensions of thetrench 102 would depend on a height required of the bollards, spacing between adjacent bollard assemblies as well as the dimensions of thebase assembly 20 andreinforcement members 30. According to embodiments of the invention, a depth of thetrench 102 may range between about 0.20 m to about 1.00 m. Optionally, a leveling material, such as concrete, may be provided in thetrench 102 to form a level surface for easy installation of thebollard assemblies 1. Subsequently, a plurality ofprefabricated bollard assemblies 1 may be arranged in thetrench 102, separated by a predetermined distance and withfree ends 32 of theirreinforcement members 30 spaced apart fromadjacent bollard assemblies 1. Optionally, a small amount of concrete may be provided at this stage to set thebollard assemblies 1 in position. -
Rebars 104 may connect the plurality ofbollard assemblies 1 by providing therebars 104 throughappropriate perforations 28 in theintermediate plates 26 of thebase assemblies 1. The number ofrebars 104 and their arrangement would depend on site conditions as well as the desired impact rating required. A bonding material, such as concrete, is then provided to fill thetrench 102 as well as to anchor the bollard assemblies to the site. If it is desired to conceal thebase assembly 20, a layer of the bonding material may be provided above thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20. This layer may range between 2.5 cm to about 6.0 cm but is not limited as such. Otherwise, if it is desired to have thetop plate 22 of thebase assembly 20 flush with an adjoining surface, the bonding material should accordingly be provided surrounding thetop plate 22. Thebollard member 10 may be filled with a rigid material of high strength, e.g. concrete. Optionally, paver materials may be installed around thebollard members 10. - It is to be understood that other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the present invention. Furthermore, certain terminology has been used for the purposes of descriptive clarity, and not to limit the invention. The embodiments and features described above should be considered exemplary, with the invention being defined by the appended claims.
