Martello Bollard Installation
STEP 5:
Ensure the area is properly formed to create a
perimeter that will hold wet concrete. Use a dirt tamper**
to compact the soil below the intended surface.
Set the Bollard
STEP 6:
Keep the bollard in its protective packaging and
carefully place near the installation position.
STEP 7:
Ensure that the bend
(A)
along the entire
circumference of the bollard is flush with the intended
finished grade.
STEP 8:
Orient the bollard so that the sloped side faces the
road.
Note: Installers may find it beneficial to use wood or
brick to position the bollard so that the bend
(A)
is flush
with the intended concrete surface.
Pour the Concrete
STEP 9:
Mix the concrete. Check that the proper ratio of
water and concrete mix is used—the concrete should have
a similar texture to moldable clay.
STEP 10:
Fill the site around the bollard with concrete until
it is level with the finished grade.
STEP 11:
Start filling the body of the bollard through the
holes at the top. Stir and compact the concrete to get rid
of all air bubbles. Continue to pour concrete, leaving 1/2"
of the top clear.
STEP 12:
When finished with pouring the concrete, remove
the bollard’s protective packaging.
Install the Cap
STEP 13:
Screw the concrete anchors
(B)
into the cap.
STEP 14:
Fit the cap onto the bollard, ensuring that the
longer axis of the cap aligns with the long axis of the
bollard base.
