The need for an ultra shallow mount bollard arose from the difficulty and cost of having to excavate several feet beneath the surface. In a location where underground utilities prohibit installation (see image below) or at a location with stories beneath the surface, like an airport, an ultra shallow mount bollard may be the only option. Ameristar's Ultra Shallow Mount Benefit An anti-ram bollard can be installed with as little as 4 1/2" of foundation and 6" bury. Cost savings include: Underground utility diversion costs Installation time is about one fourth of a traditional bollard install Disruption is kept to a minimum (less plant machinery, noise, air pollution and labor) Additional benefits of a shallow mount installation: Can be easily removed to facilitate access to underground services and can then re-installed Design offers a high level of integrity to shallow angle attacks Installation uses less than 25% of the concrete employed in a traditional foundation, making it the greener solution Straight forward to avoid sidewalk obstructions such as man holes and light poles and fire hydrants.
