How Impact Recovery System works
4 LEVELS OF EXTREME PROTECTION
It's not only the footings you can protect, our Impact Recovery System protects your bollard using another 3 levels of protection to make the bollard impact resistant, safer and reusable

-
TO PROTECT PEOPLE & ASSETS We use a heavy duty steel resistance core. Unlike spring loaded bollards that over-flex, a heavy-duty resistance core prevents deflection of the bollard beyond 20 degrees when impacted by a passenger vehicle at low speed such as a carpark. Upon severe impact the core will bend but the bollard will remain secure and the core is easily replaced. (see below)
-
TO PROTECT THE BOLLARD AND VEHICLES We use ZERO Impact Recovery Rings Unlike springs that quickly rust and wear out, creating dangerous litigation risks, our ZERO Impact Recovery Rings create a permanent shock absorbing cushion that absorb the impact force of a vehicle and self-recover, with no reduction in capacity following hundreds of impacts, greatly improving safety and resilience
-
TO ENSURE YOUR BOLLARD WILL WITHSTAND IMPACT We use heavy duty bollard casings. Unlike cheaply made (often imported) bollards that dent upon impact from a vehicle, our heavy-duty bollards provide an impact resistant surface, but our Advanced Polymer bollards are the true heroes, further improving safety and reducing the risk of damage to vehicles
IN - GROUND BOLLARDS
Bollards are secured on ZERO WASTE Foundations using the In-ground Impact Recovery System
Bollards remain rigid and cannot be deflected by hand. When impacted by a vehicle the Impact Recovery Rings absorb the impact force (allowing bollard to deflect up to 20 degrees when the resistance core will prevent any further defelction) and slowly safely self-recover impact after impact, year after year.
A more flexible version of rings (Super-flex) is available for bike paths that enables bollards to deflect upon low impact such as trolleys or push bikes (use with Advanced Polymer Bollards)
SIMPLE TO REPLACE
_____________________
If bollard is badly impacted the resistance core may need replacing
- Undo security stud and slip off bollard
- Use industrial removal tool (or foot tool for modified units) to remove the resistance core from ground socket.
- Replace Resistance core. Rings secured to core using screwdriver to tighten clamps. The Bollard casing, ZERO WASTE Foundations, Impact Recovery Rings and Self-locking Taper are all re-usable impact after impact
SURFACE MOUNT BOLLARDS
Surface Mount Bollards are secured on a Heavy-Duty Reusable Base plate using the Impact Recovery System
Bollards remain rigid and cannot be deflected by hand. When impacted by a vehicle the Impact Recovery Rings absorb the impact force (allowing bollard to deflect up to 20 degrees when the resistance core will prevent any further deflection) and slowly safely self-recover impact after impact, year after year.
SIMPLE TO REPLACE
_____________________
If bollard is severely impacted the resistance core may need replacing
- Undo securing stud and slip off bollard
- Use Allen key to remove the resistance core from base plate.
- Replace the resistance core. Impact Recovery Rings, Base Plate and surrounding foundations re-usable impact after impact
