Follow on Google News | Securapost Bollards tested to PAS68 StandardIn what is believed to be a world first in the application of barrier materials technology in bollards, Australian company Leda-Vannaclip successfully impact tested their 150NB fixed bollards at the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) in May 2
By: Leda Vannaclip The tests each involved a single-sized 150NB stainless steel fixed bollard filled with a Leda-Vannaclip- With the bollards mounted in a shallow rigid foundation, two successful tests were conducted at 48km/h using firstly a 2500kg 4x4 SUV vehicle and then a 3500kg van. A third test with a shallow embedment bollard proved ineffective in restraining the impacting vehicle, highlighting the critical importance of footing design. This event offered significant advancement to our knowledge base in the area of vehicle impact testing and further testing will be conducted in the second half of the year to further our understanding of the bollards and footing interaction. It is expected that the bollards will receive both the UK and Australian government accreditations in due course. Leda-Vannaclip gratefully acknowledges the support provided by the UK Government in the course of this testing.
