Decorative Bollard Installation Details For New Concrete / Sidewalk

Reliance Foundry’s standard bollard mounting system makes decorative bollards quick and easy to install into new concrete or sidewalks

This “decorative”, stand-alone or standard bollard mounting system is intended to set Reliance Foundry’s bollards into new concrete or new sidewalks - where no security (interior) pipe bollards are required.

Installing decorative bollards into new concrete or sidewalks:

1. Step One - Installing the standard anchor casting
   • Position the bollard anchor casting within the concrete area to be poured. Where rows of bollards are to be installed, use a chalk line to make sure all bollard bases are aligned correctly. This will provide a uniform look after completion of the bollard row.
   • The concrete anchor threaded hole should be covered/protected during the concrete pour with the provided plastic thread plug.
   • Pour the concrete.
   • The Bollard anchor is set in place so that the top of the anchor casting will be flush with the concrete grade after the concrete is poured.
2. Step Two - Installing the Bollard
   • Once the concrete is cured, removed the plastic thread plug, and move the bollard package near/beside the installation area.
   • Remove the cardboard box that was used to protect the bollard base during shipment.
   • Remove the plastic bag that was used to protect the bollard base during shipment.
   • Place the bollard base over the anchor.
   • Ensure the center of the bollard body lines up with the threaded hole in the anchor.
   • Insert the threaded rod through the receiver hole in the bollard base into the bollard anchor.
   • Hand tighten the threaded rod approx. 1" - 1-1/2" down into the bollard anchor. The threaded rod should extend approx. 2" above the bollard top prior to adding washer and nut.
   • Apply the washer.
   • Apply the nut.
   • Hand-tighten the nut over the washer and bollard base with a wrench.
3. Step Three - Installing the Cap
   • Remove the cardboard box and plastic bag that was used to protect the bollard cap during shipment.
   • Place the bollard cap on top of the bollard base.
   • Install three set screws, ensuring torque is applied equally and evenly to center and secure the cap to the base.
   • Install plastic caps over top of the set screw holes.
   • Clean bollard and surrounding area. Your installation is complete!
