As designers of projects, architects, engineers and specifiers require high quality security solutions that meet the strict guidelines of their requirements. At Cal Pipe we strive to make this job easier when it comes to security bollards, essential to any public or private building with access to both vehicles and pedestrians. Protection doesn't have to mean ugly pipes sticking out of the ground. All of our finishes are bright stainless steel, carbon steel, or powder coat colors with modern shapes that fit the most demanding environmental needs.

MOST COMMONLY USED BOLLARD TYPES

EMBEDDED SECURITY BOLLARDS

Embedded, Fixed Post Security Bollards are the most commonly used safety and security bollard posts. They are often found protecting stationary objects such as an electrical junction installations to providing a protective barrier for pedestrians on busy streets and in many, many more applications. Embedded bollards are relatively easy to install and allow free pedestrian movement between the bollards unlike most safety barriers made from concrete or other materials.

REMOVABLE EXTERNAL PADLOCK SECURITY BOLLARDS

Removable External Padlock bollards are commonly used in industrial applications. The external padlock on the bollard allows relatively easy access to public service vehicles such as the fire or police into restricted areas.

The External Padlocking Removable bollard offers the same versatility as the Internal Locking Removable bollards. In a mixed barrier application of fixed and removable bollards these bollard posts quickly and easily allow movement of large objects through the perimeter. These bollards are ideal for use in in college and university installations, access control for parking lots, and security and safety at military bases.

REMOVABLE INTERNAL LOCKING SECURITY BOLLARDS

Internal Locking Removable bollards are our most flexible-use security bollard. The removable bollard post locks into an embedment sleeve and can only be removed by unlocking the convenient tamper-proof internal lock. When the bollard post is removed a flip-up stainless steel lid safely covers the empty embedment sleeve.

Internal Locking Removable bollards used in conjunction with Embedded bollards, Removable Internal Locking safety bollards create a flexible barrier system that quickly allows large objects like promotional materials and vehicles to move through the barrier while maintaining superior stopping strength.

RETRACTABLE MANUALLY-ASSISTED SECURITY BOLLARDS

Retractable Manually-assisted security bollards rise from the ground and lock into place with a simple turn of a key. When the bollard post is extended, turning the key again allows the bollard post to retract and lock flush to the surface grade with very little effort. It is effective in parking access control and protection of entrances and buildings applications.

Because the assisted lift mechanism uses a heavier, more secure bollard post this bollard system is delivers higher security protection then simpler bollard systems. Concern for who can or how a heavy, high-security bollard can be physically retracted or extended is virtually eliminated. The gas-assisted bollard mechanism is particularly appropriate in areas where power may be lost or is not available.

RETRACTABLE AUTOMATIC SECURITY BOLLARDS

Retractable Automatic security bollard systems can be integrated into most existing access control systems. These bollards are designed for numerous repetitive cycles and are ideal for restricted parking lots, access control gates, commercial building entrances or military bases. The bollard posts come in a wide selection of diameters and wall thicknesses for use in any application that requires traffic control flow or monitoring.

If you need a unique solution our engineering staff can design a system to fit your specific requirements.

LIGHTED SECURITY AND ARCHITECTURALLY AESTHETIC BOLLARDS

Cal Pipe Security Bollard's Lighted bollards come in four aesthetically pleasing designs built in two styles.

The Lighted Architecture line models are designed to be visually pleasing and can be surface mounted. They can be ideal to light walkways or guide pedestrian traffic in nighttime parking areas. These lighted bollards are perfect for parking lots, exterior accents or along sidewalks. They are not engineered to provide protection for pedestrians from vehicles.

Our Lighted Security bollard models, with similar stunning designs, provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance but, when properly embedded, can still provide an effective security solution similar to our standard Embedded models.

Both bollard styles are manufactured from #304 stainless steel.

K12 CERTIFIED AND K4 ENGINEERED HIGH SECURITY BOLLARDS

K12 Rated High Security Bollards come in Embedded and Retractable, Automatic and Manually-Assisted, Models. They are independently tested and certified allow less than 1 meter of penetration through them by a 15,000 lb vehicle traveling at the nominal speed of 50 mph.

K4 Engineered High Security Bollards are available in Embedded, Removable and Removable shallow-mount Models. These bollard systems are precision-engineered and designed to withstand impact by a 15,000 lb vehicle traveling at 30 mph with less than 1 meter of penetration. They are an effective deterrent against everyday perils and vehicle ramming with malevolent intent.
