Before Installaon
STEP 1: Study the site plans and mark the intended
locaon of each bollard on the plan.
STEP 2: Always check for hazards such as water pipes,
gas lines, and underground wiring before digging. Note:
You may need a permit to dig to certain depths or in
certain locaons.
To protect the nish, keep bollards in original
packaging unl exact moment of installaon.
Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging
bollard surfaces as abrasions will lead to rust.
Consider local soil condions before proceeding
with bollard installaon.

STEP 8
STEP 3: Plan the layout and dig a rectangular hole with a
width of 72", length of 48", and depth of 36".
STEP 4: Set a brace (concrete block or chair) at the boom
of the site. This will elevate the bollard o the subgrade.
The bollard should be lied up enough that the top of the
bollard’s gusset is ush with the surface grade. The bollard
height above grade should be 39.5".
STEP 5: Lower the bollard into the site and onto the brace.
Note: Crash-rated bollards are heavy—to prevent accidents
and injuries, ensure the proper resources are available to
set into place.
Pour the Concrete
STEP 6: Only use concrete with a minimum 4000 PSI. Mix
the concrete. Check that the proper rao of water and
concrete mix is used—the concrete should have a similar
texture to moldable clay.
STEP 7: Fill the site to the top with concrete unl it is level
with the surface grade.
Set the Bollard
STEP 8: Hold a level against the side of the bollard and
ensure that it is plumb. Note: Once the concrete has cured,
there will be no way to make any adjustments.
STEP 9: Patch the surface around the bollard to make it
smooth with the exisng surface.
Clean the Bollard
STEP 10: Use a cloth to clean the bollard before the
concrete cures.
STEP 11: Be sure to allow enough me for concrete to cure
before beginning construcon projects on new concrete
surfaces. Note: Moisture in the environment and cool
temperatures can signicantly slow the process.
STEP 12: Landscaping material or concrete can be applied
around the bollard base to achieve the desired nal grade.
Note: Decorave bollard covers can be installed over crash-
rated bollards. Please ensure that the cover is large enough
to accommodate the crash-rated bollard. To install, please
refer to the cover’s installaon guide.

Removing the Bollard
This bollard can be removed when necessary and covered with a
bollard sleeve cap.
STEP 13: Find the hollow internal tube at the top of the
bollard.
STEP 14: Insert a construcon pipe through this tube and
ensure it is centered. The construcon pipe will act as a
liing handle.
STEP 15: Raise the construcon pipe and li the bollard
out of the bollard sleeve. Note: Crash-rated bollards are
heavy—to prevent accidents and injuries, ensure the proper
resources are available for liing.
STEP 16: Cover the opening of the bollard sleeve with the
bollard sleeve cap to prevent tripping hazards and debris
from geng inside.
Inspect the installaon. Abrasions should
be covered as soon as possible. For damage
repair or other servicing needs, please contact
Reliance Foundry’s sales department.
