Removable Bollard Installaon
R-8464
Removable Bollard
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.
Once scratched, bollards cannot be repaired
to original form without re-nishing the enre
surface.
Consider local soil condions before proceeding
with bollard installaon.
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.
STEP 3: Please consult your local Building Code
Department to determine the recommended depth
below the frost line for digging in your area. Choose a
minimum of this or 6-3/4", whichever is greater. Then
add a minimum of 6" for holding the drain rock.* This is
the total depth. The diameter of the hole should extend
to a minimum of 12".
* Recommended depth for drain rock is a minimum of 6". Depth
will also depend on local soil condions, weather condions, and
engineering requirements.

STEP 4: Center an auger on the installaon mark and bore
a hole to the required measurements.
STEP 5: Ensure the area is properly formed to create a
perimeter that will hold wet concrete. Use a dirt tamper**
to compact the soil below the intended surface.
STEP 6: Prepare the bollard and receiver for designated
locaon. Keep the bollard in its protecve packaging. Add
the drain rock to the excavaon site, keeping in mind that
the receiver will be installed so that the top edge of the
receiver is slightly above surface grade. A slight berm is
recommended to help with water drainage.
Prepare the Concrete
STEP 7: Ensure that the proper rao of water and concrete
mix is used. The concrete should have a similar texture to
moldable clay.
STEP 8: Place the receiver in the designated locaon and
ensure that the top edge of the receiver is slightly above
surface grade. Note: If necessary, try dry ng the bollard
(with packaging sll on) into the receiver and use a level to
ensure it is plumb before proceeding with pouring concrete.
STEP 9: Be sure to orient the receiver in such a way
that the keyhole will point in the desired direcon. It is
recommended that the orientaon of all receivers be the
same.
Pour the Concrete
Before pouring the concrete, determine if your local frost
line is less than or greater than 6-3/4". When pouring
concrete, be sure to pour it evenly. The concrete should also
be slightly raised up towards the top edge of the receiver
plate to create a slight berm.
STEP 10 (A): If the local frost line is less than 6-3/4", simply
pour the concrete into the site.
STEP 10 (B): If the local frost line is greater than 6-3/4",
pour the concrete into the site and then provide adequate
drainage by piping through the concrete and connecng to
the drain rock layer underneath.
**Dirt tamping is not required if working on undisturbed soil.

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.
STEP 11: Allow the concrete to cure for a minimum of
2–3 days. Note: Moisture in the environment and cool
temperatures can signicantly slow the process.
Secure the Bollard
STEP 12: Keep the bollard in its protecve packaging. Aer
ensuring the concrete surface has fully cured, carefully
place the bollard near the installaon site.
STEP 13: When ready to install, remove the bollard’s
protecve packaging.
STEP 14: Remove the receiver cover and turn the key in
order to retract the plunger and lower the bollard into the
receiver.
STEP 15: Aer seng the bollard in the receiver, li and
hold it while releasing and removing the key.
