Heald’s Apex Static Bollard offers a shallow mount solution with a flexible, modular design, allowing easy adaptation to various locations. It enables straightforward installation in straight or curved arrangements and supports a range of aesthetic finishes and covers, seamlessly blending with both historic and contemporary architecture.
Apex Static Shallow Mount Bollard
Apex Bollards are installed easily with an excavation depth of just 150mm. They are positioned without pinning and secured with concrete backfill, allowing for a smooth finish with tarmac or pavers that integrates seamlessly with any landscape.
The Apex bollard’s design allows for tight curves and 90-degree angles without modifying the base. Mounted on an elongated rear base plate, it supports two maximum radii for curving towards or away from the protected area.
Product Specs
- The minimum achievable interior fitted radius is 1550mm, whilst maintaining PAS69 recommended 1.2m spacing between bollards.
- The minimum achievable exterior fitted radius is 800mm, whilst maintaining PAS69 recommended 1.2m spacing between bollards.
Case Studies
Parliament House
GK Solutions successfully retrofitted a blast mitigation system for the windows of the Australian Parliament House in Canberra, addressing three main challenges: meeting stringent blast resistance ratings, integrating seamlessly with the existing architectural framework, and preserving the building’s heritage aesthetic.
Department of Defence
GK Solutions supplied and installed blast and forced entry-resistant doors for the Australian Department of Defence’s Explosives Ordnance (EO) storage buildings. The project included a 3-metre by 3-metre automated sliding door, a pedestrian access door and an emergency egress door. Challenges included meeting the stringent safety standards for EO storage.
Government Site, Melbourne
The secure government site in Melbourne faced a significant challenge with its gates located at the bottom of a hill, directly in the path of water, sand and gravel runoff from an unsealed parking area at the top. During heavy rains, the runoff would create conditions unsuitable for traditional in-ground bollards.
Protection of Heritage Windows
In Sydney and Melbourne, heritage-listed buildings with decorative windows required enhanced protection against blasts and forced entry. The challenge was to ensure the security measures did not detract from the buildings’ historical and aesthetic value. In collaboration with security consultants, we developed a solution that balanced security and preservation.
Transport NSW
Transport New South Wales needed a temporary hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) solution for securing major roads, such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, during events like New Year’s Eve fireworks. Similarly, the Melbourne government required a rapid-deployment solution for protecting high-attendance public spaces.
