There are several versions of our security Bollard mounting system, depending on whether or not these will be installed over top of new or existing steel pipe Bollards.
Security bollard mounting system
Please note: For any of the following installation methods, Reliance Foundry is not responsible for site preparation or footings. The following is provided as a guideline only, and engineering or architectural design should be used for proper security Bollard site preparation or footings.
Site security is a major concern in today’s unpredictable world. Public and private buildings, government facilities, campuses and public parks are all susceptible to accidental as well as deliberate vehicle infringement. Security bollards placed at ingress points are an excellent way to guard against vehicle intrusion while still allowing pedestrian access. Adding greater impact resistance allows a bollard to enforce traffic restrictions instead of merely suggesting them. Plain pipe bollards are frequently placed at the corners of buildings, or flanking lamp-posts, public phones, fire hydrants, gas pipes and other installations that need to be protected from accidental collisions. A bollard at the edge of a roadway prevents cars from over-running sidewalks and harming pedestrians.
Reliance Foundry’s Bollard Covers provide an enhancement to the otherwise dull, steel, perimeter pipe Bollard — allowing a decorative form to take precedence over top of unattractive pipe barriers. Although substantial security safety and security deterrents by themselves, our products are mainly intended as decorative features only. When used in conjunction with new perimeter, steel security posts or as retrofit features over existing, security/anti-ram pipe bollards — customers are able to attain an aesthetic enhancement to their site security barriers.
Our Security Bollard Mounting system can be used to set our Bollard Covers in place over top of new or existing steel pipe Bollards (steel posts).
Security Pipe Bollard Installations can take place within;
New Pipe - New concrete
New Pipe - Existing concrete
Existing/retrofit pipe installations - Full length pipe, c/w concrete already in place
Existing/retrofit pipe installations - Full length pipe, empty (no concrete in place)
Existing/retrofit pipe installations - Stub pipe
Existing Stub pipe - c/w concrete already in place (using an epoxy)
Existing Stub pipe - c/w concrete already in place (using a concrete insert)
New Pipe - New concrete
Step One - Preparation of the footing
For maximum security protection, a strip footing with a rebar cage tied into the bollards will provide more security over individual bollard footings because the whole footing will absorb the impact as opposed to an individual footing for each bollard.
Sometimes an individual footing is the most practical footing available for a less security sensitive
To aid with installation, you can use a Sonotube Concrete Form. See http://www.sonotube.com/faq.html for reference.
Install the supplied threaded rod when pouring the concrete.
Step Two - Installing the bollard
Once the concrete has cured, place the bollard base over the pipe and the threaded rod, being sure to line up the receiver hole at the top of the base with the threaded rod.
Apply the washer, nut and then tighten with a wrench.
Step Three - Installing the Cap
Install the bollard cap by placing it on the top of the bollard base.
Tighten the three set screws equally to secure the cap to the base.
Apply a light coating of silicone to each set screw before installing and tightening.
Apply a small amount of silicone over the top of the set screw after tightening; this will help reduce corrosion due to the elements.
Install plastic caps (supplied with your shipment) over top of the set screw holes after applying a small amount of silicone into the set screw hole.
New Pipe - Existing concrete
Before commencing with this installation method, great care must be taken to ensure the proposed location hole does not come into contact with any underground services.
Service drawings should be obtained and referred to during this process
A survey of the area underneath the concrete should be taken prior to digging or drilling, including an X-Ray of the area to ensure there are no ulities present underneath the concrete.
When using proprietary installation equipment, close attention should be paid to Health and Safety recommendations of the manufacturer/hirer.
All excavations should be protected by a safety barrier.
Step One - Preparation of the footing
A hole must be drilled into the concrete, and excavated to the required depth.
Install the supplied threaded rod when pouring the concrete.
Step Two — Installing the bollard
Once the concrete has cured, place the bollard base over the pipe and the threaded rod, being sure to line up the receiver hole at the top of the base with the threaded rod.
As an option, you can centre and align the threaded rod within the concrete during the curing process by placing the bollard base over the pipe and the threaded rod, being sure to line up the receiver hole at the top of the base with the threaded rod.
Apply the washer, nut and then tighten with a wrench.
Step Three — Installing the Cap
Install the bollard cap by placing it on the top of the bollard base.
Tighten the three set screws equally to secure the cap to the base.
Apply a light coating of silicone to each set screw before installing and tightening.

Install plastic caps (supplied with your shipment) over top of the set screw holes after applying a small amount of silicone into the set screw hole.
Existing Pipe - Full length, c/w concrete already in place (using a concrete insert)
Step One — Installing the threaded insert
Using a Hammer Drill and a 1" carbide tipped masonary bit, drill a 1" diameter hole 3-1/8" inches deep.
The rod may need to be cut to size to fit
Tap the concrete insert into the hole using a hammer driving it into the hole until the top of it is flush with the surface of the concrete.
This will set the insert in place.
Step Two — Installing the bollard
Place the bollard base over the pipe and the threaded rod, being sure to line up the receiver hole at the top of the base with the threaded rod.
Apply the washer, nut and then tighten with a wrench.
Step Three — Installing the Cap
Install the bollard cap by placing it on the top of the bollard base.
Tighten the three set screws equally to secure the cap to the base.
Apply a light coating of silicone to each set screw before installing and tightening.
