Installing automatic rising bollards involves several key steps,
which typically require electrical, mechanical, and sometimes
hydraulic expertise. Below is a general guide to the installation
process for automatic rising bollards:
1. Site Assessment & Preparation:
- Survey the Area: Ensure the ground is level, and the bollard location is clear of
underground utilities like gas, water, and electrical lines.
- Mark the Area: Mark where the bollard(s) will be installed.
- Obtain Permits: Check with local authorities to ensure compliance with zoning and
safety regulations.
2. Digging the Foundation:
- Excavation: Dig a hole that meets the manufacturer’s specifications (typically
between 1.0 to 1.5 meters deep and about 0.5 to 1 meter wide,
depending on the model). The hole should allow for both the bollard
cylinder and its mechanism.
- Install Drainage: Depending on your location, drainage might be necessary to prevent
water buildup around the bollard. Install gravel or a drain pipe to
facilitate water flow.
3. Electrical & Control System Setup:
- Run Electrical Cables: Lay underground conduit and wiring from the control box or power
source to the bollard location. Make sure the electrical
connections follow the manufacturer's instructions for voltage and
load requirements.
- Install Control Box: Position the control box in a safe, accessible location. This box
will typically house the automation system, sensors, and manual
override options.
4. Installing the Bollard:
- Place the Bollard in the Foundation: Carefully lower the bollard into the hole, ensuring it's level and
properly aligned with the surface.
- Connect Power & Controls: Attach the bollard mechanism to the electrical wiring and control
system, following the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams.
- Hydraulic Installation (if applicable): For hydraulic models, connect the hydraulic lines to the bollard.
5. Pour Concrete & Secure Bollard:
- Fill with Concrete: Once the bollard is correctly positioned, pour concrete around it,
making sure not to cover any moving parts or electrical components.
- Allow to Set: Let the concrete cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions
(typically 24-48 hours).
6. Testing & Calibration:
- Initial Power-Up: After the concrete has set, power on the bollard system and test
its movement (raising and lowering). Verify that the bollard moves
smoothly.
- Adjust Settings: Calibrate sensors and timers according to the needs of the site
(e.g., automatic lowering after a certain period or integration
with access control systems).
- Emergency Features: Ensure that emergency override systems (manual lowering or
raising) are operational.
7. Final Checks:
- Inspection: Ensure that all electrical connections are properly sealed, and
there are no loose or exposed wires.
- Security & Safety: Install any required warning lights, alarms, or signage to alert
pedestrians and drivers when the bollards are raised or lowering.
8. Maintenance Plan:
- Create Maintenance Schedule: Plan for regular inspections and servicing, especially of
hydraulic systems, sensors, and control mechanisms, to ensure
long-term reliability.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Barriers?
Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) barrier is a physical security device designed to prevent or mitigate the
impact of deliberate vehicle attacks, such as ramming attacks or
unauthorized vehicle access to secured areas. These barriers are
engineered to stop vehicles from breaching perimeters by either
halting or slowing them down. HVM barriers are used to protect
high-risk sites, public spaces, critical infrastructure, and events
from vehicle-borne threats.
