Crash-Tested / Anti-Ram Bollards
What is PAS 68 and why does it matter for bollards?
PAS 68 is a British Standards Institution test specification that verifies a bollard's ability to stop a vehicle of a given weight and speed on impact, with results based on independent crash testing. It matters because it provides evidence-based assurance for sites needing genuine hostile vehicle mitigation, rather than a product that simply looks robust. Ask us for test data relevant to your risk assessment.
What is the difference between PAS 68 and IWA 14?
PAS 68 is the established UK crash test standard, while IWA 14 is an international workshop agreement covering similar vehicle security barrier testing with a broader global framework. Both assess impact performance against defined vehicle weights and speeds, and products are often tested to one or both. The right standard to specify usually depends on the site's security requirements and any client or insurer specification.
Do crash-rated bollards need deep foundations?
Most crash-rated bollards need a substantial reinforced concrete foundation to transfer impact forces safely into the ground, and foundation depth is specified as part of the tested installation method. Shallow mount systems are available for sites where deep excavation isn't possible, such as over existing services, but performance depends on following the manufacturer's tested foundation detail exactly.
Are crash-tested bollards suitable for pedestrianised areas?
Yes, crash-tested bollards are widely used in pedestrianised areas, town centres and public spaces where hostile vehicle mitigation is needed without closing the area to foot traffic. Many are designed with a more discreet or architectural appearance so they blend into the streetscape rather than looking overtly like security infrastructure. Spacing and siting should follow the crash test evidence for the chosen product.
What vehicle speeds and weights do crash-tested bollards protect against?
This depends entirely on the specific product and the standard it's tested to, as PAS 68 and IWA 14 ratings cover a range of vehicle weights and impact speeds. There's no single figure that applies across all crash-rated bollards, so it's important to check the test certificate for the exact model. Tell us your risk assessment requirements and we'll match a suitable product.
Can anti-ram bollards be disguised as ornamental or planter bollards?
Yes, a number of crash-tested products are designed to look like ornamental bollards, planters or street furniture, which allows hostile vehicle mitigation to be installed without an overtly hardened appearance. Performance still relies on the tested foundation and fixing method being followed precisely. This approach is popular in heritage town centres and retail areas.
Do crash-tested bollards need to be reinstalled after a vehicle impact?
In most cases yes, a bollard that has absorbed a vehicle impact within its test rating should be inspected and, if damaged, replaced or reinstalled to maintain its protective performance. The foundation should also be checked for damage. Retaining the original test certificate is useful for any insurance or reinstatement process.
