The concrete, unlike a painted metal bollard, will not be scratched by groundskeeping equipment. And the bollard tops do not get hot, increasing pedestrian safety. The body and caps are composed of precast concrete reinforced with an internal cage structure of steel. The concrete bodies are one piece castings with a minimum wall thickness of three inches. All threaded inserts are welded to the steel reinforcing cage and cast in place.
Surface finish is natural white concrete with a light etch.
Grills have cast in place, integral mounting logs for attachment to the concrete base. The lens is one piece, seamless opal acrylic. The lens is sealed at both ends with a molded silicone gasket. The grill assembly is sealed to the concrete with a silicone compression gasket on the fop and bottom for weather tight operation. Recessed stainless steel screws are loosened to remove the top cap for relamping.
