HVM static bollards are primarily used where routine vehicle access is not required, and a fixed barrier is needed instead. This can include: city‑centre streetscapes, shopfronts, building frontages, and sensitive areas around critical national infrastructure. They help manage vehicle‑as‑a‑weapon risks, ramraids, vandalism and day‑to‑day incidents by creating a clear, permanent perimeter.
Unlike automatic bollards, which raise and lower to allow authorised vehicles through, static bollards remain in place at all times, and are best suited to locations where vehicle access is not necessary.
Selecting the most appropriate product for your site often centres on installation depth as opposed to product weight, as underground services or structures may rule out deeper excavation. Modern shallow‑mount, ultra‑shallow‑mount and surface‑mount solutions, such as Synergy, can deliver high levels of impact resistance while minimising excavation requirements.
Heald’s static bollards are manufactured from steel, with stainless steel options available for enhanced weather resistance. Our range includes crash rated static bollards that can be deployed for sites that require defined impact performance to recognised hostile vehicle mitigation standards.
Our static bollards can also be supplied in different colour ways, with lighting and reflective strips to help improve visibility, and in some cases can integrate with Heald’s Architectural Paving System to blend seamlessly into surrounding surfaces.
