Part of Victoria’s big build, many level crossings are being removed which are impacting the way people travel now and for the future. Here at Australian Bollards, we are committed to providing safe and quality solutions to protect our community. We are here to ensure the protection of assets, pedestrians and workers by making them aware of certain routes and cables in many locations. 

At Australian Bollards, public security and asset protection is always at the forefront of our attitudes which is why we have installed our Automatic Pneumatic Bollards at both the entrance and exit of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Our Pneumatic Automatic Bollards are designed and manufactured in Australia and engineered to PAS-68/IWA-14-1 industry standards to withstand high impact strength, guaranteeing reliability, and delivering fantastic protection.

Road and vehicle accidents are a common cause for many fatalities throughout Australia. Without the right protection and safety measures, these fatalities will not decrease. However, protecting your community’s infrastructure, roads, pedestrians and more has never been easier with our Anti Vehicle Fencing.

In January 2017, a car deliberately drove through a high foot traffic area along Bourke street in Melbourne CBD. The attack killed six people and seriously injured twenty-seven people. This threat was a wake up call for places all around Australia to take an immediate action towards protecting public and tourism areas.

Storing large quantities of valuable, and highly flammable material, the protection of petrol bowsers at service stations is highly important to ensure safety. With heavy machinery - cars, motorbikes, and trucks - regularly operated by people around these bowsers, disaster is always a possibility, this is where our bollards can assist.

At Australian Bollards we offer a wide range of products, which ensure the safety of workers at construction sites, alongside the protection of assets and critical infrastructure, such as Boom Gates, Energy Absorbing Bollards (EAB’s) and Screens.

Late last year, in the peak of tourist season, Australian Bollards proudly installed specially customised event bollards in the city of Mornington to protect the community and visitors against the threat of hostile vehicles. As states reopen their borders to one another and coronavirus restrictions ease across the country, large events, such as the upcoming Moomba Festival in Melbourne, will resume and attract even larger crowds. Moomba, which is Australia’s largest free community festival (cancelled last year due to COVID19 restrictions), is expected to attract almost a million people, and ensuring the safety of festival goers’ and protection of assets is crucial.

Last January we installed our Energy Absorbing Bollards at Tram Stop 30 located on Clarke and High St in Northcote.

As a part of our latest pedestrian and road safety solution, the Energy Absorbing Bollards are perfect in pedestrian dense areas and work to reduce the amount of damage incurred when an errant vehicle attempts to enter.

Public safety is imperative at Australian Bollards and our security fencing guarantees protection for communities and properties across Australia. Our PAS68 Cantilever Gate System is ideal for any business or site that prioritises high level security such as airports, embassy’s, park’s, prison’s, stadium’s or waterway’s.
