Designed to Protect

Site security is a major concern in today’s unpredictable world. Public and private buildings, government facilities, campuses, and public parks are all susceptible to accidental as well as deliberate vehicle infringement. This course examines how security bollards can create safeguards for structures and people while adding to the aesthetics of a project. Site security and assessment are covered prior to an in-depth discussion on security bollard composition, testing and certification processes, foundation engineering, and recent design advancements.

Learning Objectives

  1. Assess project security needs to appropriately specify bollards as security barriers.
  2. Describe current testing and standards used to certify bollard performance in the field, which allows product specification with confidence.
  3. Examine bollard foundation engineering and the impact of its design on the effective performance of the bollard as a barrier system.
  4. Explore modern design innovations for security bollards that allow high durability in combination with lighting performance and exceptional aesthetics.
