Installation
Introduction Fixing Options
Bollards must be installed correctly for a long
and trouble-free service life. Anchors should be
accurately set out with the supplied template.
Bollards can be recessed (as shown) or surface
mounted. Once the grout has reached full strength,
anchors can be fully tightened. Mastic is often
applied around exposed threads to ease
future removal.
Recess Mounting Type Retrofit Mounting Type

Concrete Recess

Surface Mounting Type Steelwork Mounting Type

*refer to dimensions tables

Recessing the bollard is generally recognized as

superior to surface mounting. Recessing the base
prevents the bollard from working loose on its bolts
or cracking the grout bed – especially relevant for
high use locations.

Maintenance
Like all equipment in the marine environment,
regular inspection and maintenance is critical to
achieving maximum life expectancy.

Trelleborg recommends regular scheduled berth

equipment inspection, including bollards. Key items
that need to be focused on during the inspection
and maintenance include:

Protective Coating
Bollards are supplied as factory standard with a
protective coating suitable for most projects. High
performance epoxy or other specified paint systems
are usually applied at the factory on request in a Grout

Installation and grout filling requires extra care to
Wear and abrasion from ropes means paint coatings avoid damage to factory applied coatings. Similarly
need regular maintenance. Like all epoxy coating regular inspection and possible repair of grout under
systems, maintenance is integral to increasing life and around the bollard is critical to the ongoing
expectancy. Trelleborg recommends regular integrity of bollard performance. Replacement is
inspection of the bollards recommended should grout be cracked or damaged.
Repair and upkeep of the coating system is Hold Down Bolts
dependent upon the coating system selected.
Holding down bolt anchor sets are crucial to bollard

settings during installation will optimize the
performance of the bollards and hold down bolts.
These are critical to be checked during installation.

Visual checks on hold down bolts should be

undertaken during regular maintenance to ensure no
loosening of bolts has occurred.
Bollard Materials
Ductile iron bollards are far less susceptible to
corrosion than cast steel bollards, which can rust
quickly and will need frequent painting to retain full
strength. Regular inspection of the bollard materials
is recommended.

Trelleborg is happy to assist in providing inspection

services on berthing and mooring equipment.
