Solely a visual deterrent, base plate bollards are primarily used when the slab they are being mounted on is too shallow for a deeper, more secure concrete footing. Base plate bollards should not be relied upon for stopping vehicles or as a perimeter security application, but rather as a pedestrian traffic guide and vehicular deterrent.
The IBB series of base plate bollards are manufactured from carbon steel for a variety of strengths and options. Carbon steel finishes available in over 180+ powder coat colors galvanized or primed only.
The SSB series of base plate bollards are manufactured from stainless steel for durability, weather-resistance, and aesthetics. Calpipe Security Bollards® offers standard Type 304 grade stainless steel, or for harsher environments, request Type 316. The stainless steel is polished to a #4 finish.
