Bollards
Reinforced concrete bollards add security around pedestrian spaces while providing a design opportunity to enhance the streetscape.
The implementation of safety bollards around traffic-adjacent public spaces is a necessary initiative to protect pedestrian areas from vehicular traffic. When selecting traffic bollards for a particular area, designers have a range of options to choose from including concrete, steel and plastic.
The benefit of using concrete bollards is that their robust appearance is often enough of a visual deterrent to prevent drivers from encroaching into the pedestrian threshold. Along with creating an effective physical barrier for separating pedestrians and vehicular traffic, concrete bollards also add an artistic element that helps to enhance and beautify the space.
Made with high strength reinforced concrete, Anston’s catalogue range of design-ready geometric concrete forms is available in various shapes to suit different design styles. We can also support designers seeking a unique solution with our capacity to create custom-made bollards.
Oculus has worked closely with Anston on multiple public landscape projects over the course of several years. We choose Anston for the superior quality of their product, their technical expertise and aptitude for close collaboration.
Featured Project: Custom seat bollards, Princes Bridge
The 130-year-old Princes Bridge is an important landmark in the City of Melbourne, providing a connecting link between the Melbourne Arts Precinct and Flinders Street Station, Federation Square and the CBD.
In 2018, this highly trafficked thoroughfare was refurbished as part of an extensive security upgrade. 88 bespoke seat bollards were installed along to line the road, creating a vehicle barricade that also provided robust seating options for pedestrians.
