FAQ

WHAT IS A BOLLARD
Bollards are steel gauge pipes installed into the surface of pavement then reinforced/filled with concrete. They are intended to provide protection from vehicles at primary access points where pedestrian traffic is heavy or infactructure/equipment needs to be protected. Storefronts, school pick-up zones, hospital loading zones, and
BOLLARD SPECIFICATIONS
Height and diameter of bollards can differ depending on each job scope and set engineering plans. Typically, bollards are Schedule 80 thickness, 7 feet in total length, and 8 inches in diameter. 4 feet is typically left on top of the pavement surface and 3 feet is buried below the ground.
TYPEs OF WHEEL STOPS
Wheel stops come in an array of sizes, materials and colors. Concrete wheel stops are the standard for most if not all standard parking stalls. They measure 6' in length and 8" in height and width. Both single and double face options are available.

Truck parking blocks are a popular choice for semi truck/trailer stalls. These blocks weigh considerably more, are much larger and heavier and are typically installed at the rear of rest stop bays and loading accesses on commercial storage and distribution facilities.

Rubber and plastic wheel stops have also become popular in recent years. These lighter options are intended for longer term usage.
WHEEL STOP INSTALLATION
Wheel stops are secured to the pavement surface with steel rebar spikes measuring 1/2"w X 12"L. Once wheel stops are perfectly aligned with one another in parking bays, and to allow for the rebar pins to be sturdy, a core drill is aligned with pins in each wheel stop and pins are then hammered in.
