Shallow mount fixed bollard IWA 14

IWA 14 Ultra Shallow Terra Lunar Bridge Bollards 7.2t @ 30mph IWA 14 7.2t @ 30mph – Shallow Static Terra Lunar Bridge Bollard Frontier Pitts is excited to introduce our shallowest bollard yet requiring foundations of just 75mm which resulted in zero penetration when tested to IWA 14 stopping 7.2t at 30mph. Bridges around the World are vital to our transportation network but have already been subjected to vehicle attacks by terrorists and users (cyclists and pedestrians) have become extremely vulnerable. Frontier Pitts have created a bollard bridge protection system that is able to sit within the bridge kerb structure utilising an ultra-shallow foundation of less than three inches. The Terra Lunar Bridge Bollard system was impact tested to IWA 14 at Horiba MIRA. The system successfully stopped a 7.2t vehicle travelling at 30mph at a shallow attack angle of 30-degrees, resulting in minimal penetration. At time of print, this is the best result in the world from a bridge protection bollard system. This means the bollard system successfully protected the pathway and cycleway as there was no encroachment by the vehicle. The Terra Lunar Bollard system was not damaged after the impact test and remained fully upright. The challenge of designing and installing a bollard system to protect a bridge has its own set of unique problems as the not only are the foundations extremely limiting, but the structural integrity of the bridge deck cannot be compromised. A unique articulated connection between the bollards using flexible linkages allows for bridge movement and expansion.
