1.0 Scope
The basic system comprising of one or more vertical rising bollards operating independently
or in sets as either a single direction, bi-directional or twin lane configuration, a hydraulic
power unit, control cabinet containing the controls and logic circuits, traffic indicator
column(s) and options as defined herein.
2.1 Bollard(s)
The system shall have a total of (enter quantity) installed as in accordance with 2.1.1 or
2.1.2.
A) Single Direction. Traffic flows in one direction only through the bollard system.
C) Twin Lane. Traffic flows in both directions through separate bollards where the
entry and exit bollards are segregated by a traffic island.
A) Single Direction. Traffic flows in one direction only through the bollard system.
C) Twin Lane. Traffic flows in both directions through separate bollards where
the entry and exit bollards are segregated by a traffic island.
Installation
A hole will be required in the road surface approximately 500mm by 500mm square
and 1500mm deep. Provision should be made for connection to a suitable drain or,

Bollard Height: Height of the bollard in the raised position shall be 800mm (31.5”) as
measured from ground level to the top of the inner bollard.
Bollard Diameter: Diameter of the bollard is 101mm (4”)
Bollard Weight: 135kg
3.2 Voltage
The control circuit shall operate from a three phase & neutral power supply.
The control cabinet dimensions will be site specific dependant on number of bollards
required.
3.4 Traffic Indicator Column(s)
ATG Access | CoBaCo House | North Florida Road |Haydock Industrial Estate | Haydock | WA11 9TP 08456 75 75 74
Specification & Procurement Guide 2012
The traffic indicator column is separate to the control cabinet and is strategically
positioned to provide a Red or Green light to vehicle drivers alerting them to the
bollard position.
The green light shall indicate when it is safe to proceed. All other bollard positions
shall cause the light to show red. External devices required for the operation of the
system are housed on the traffic indicator column.
Traffic Indicator Column Dimensions: 168mm diameter with a 45˚ sloping top x
2500mm overall length finished in Black or Stainless Steel.
Whilst the lowering of the bollard(s) by timer is permitted the raising of the bollards
must not be carried by timer. This needs to be carried out in a safe manner.
4.0 Safety
The system shall have an interlocking safety system and shall be Full Type Approved by
the Highways Agency. The bollard system shall adhere to a risk assessment level 3
European directive. The requirements of a safety system to control this category of risk
assessment are as follows (extract from section 7 of EN954-1).
“Safety devices and control systems as a minimum must be designed, selected and
assembled to meet the operational requirements of design limits and influence of the
process materials and other external influences. The complete safety control system
shall be designed so that any single fault shall not lead to the loss of the safety function
and, where practical, the single fault shall be detected. This now calls for not only
redundancy in the interface but also in the input devices, pointing to dual channel
systems”.

The final specification of devices required to operate the system will be discussed and
issued at a later date but may include devices such as OMU, Transponder/Tag,
Proximity Card, Radio Transmitter, Key Pad, Intercom, Vehicle Number Plate
Recognition. This list is by no means exhaustive and the system shall be flexible enough
to incorporate such devices.
6.0 Performance
6.1 Experience
The bollard system shall be the type supplied and installed at major infrastructure
sites globally. The manufacturer shall have at least 10 similar systems installed and
in operation internationally with documented logs of all major components and design
features. The Manufacture has 25 years developing and installing Manual Bollards.
The bollard system shall operate satisfactorily under the following environmental
conditions:
7.2 Rainfall
It is recommended the bollard outer casings are connected to a drain, if this is not
practical then a natural soak away should be constructed. It is imperative to note that a
natural soak away should only be considered if connection to a drain is not practical, the
success of a natural soak away will be dependant on the ground conditions.

8.1 Testing
Upon completion of the system build the bollard system will be fully tested at the
manufactures facility. The client will be invited to the Factory Acceptance Test for
signing off to verify functionality, operating speeds, workmanship and the finished colour
is matched against the order placed.
8.2 Shipment
The system will packaged in a sufficient manner for transport in the GLOBALLY so that
the risk to damage is minimal. Export shipments shall be crated and be of sufficient
structural integrity to be lifted and transported by overhead crane or forklift truck without
failure.
9.0 Warranty
The system shall carry a full 12 months parts and labour warranty. The manufacturer
must be able to extend the warranty to cover a 5 year parts and labour maintenance
agreement at the placement of order if required by the client.
