Encourage Foot Traffic and Keep Out Vehicles with Bollards

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

There are often situations in which foot traffic is acceptable in a certain area but vehicle traffic is not. In these cases, standard security measures such as fences and cables do not suffice as they discourage both people and cars. Crash-rated bollards are short pillars that are effective in stopping vehicles but allow easy passage by people.

We also have removable bollards, It is not always possible or advisable for bollards to be permanent. For areas where vehicular traffic is occasionally necessary but normally not permitted, removable bollards present an effective solution. They are strong enough to stand up to crash vehicles, yet can be easily taken out of the ground to allow passage and later replaced.

There are also situations when areas normally off limits to vehicles will need to be open to some automobile traffic. When those situations occur too often or too quickly for removable bollards to be practical, pop-up bollards provide a great alternative. Retracted to allow vehicle access, they can rise out of the ground in a matter of seconds to block vehicles when needed.

If you have an area around your facility where you don’t want to allow cars to go or that you want to protect from unforeseen vehicle accidents, invest in Hercules High Security crash-rated bollards today.

Check Out Some of Hercules High Security’s Signature Projects!

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

Here at Hercules High Security Fence, we know all about how important maintaining a certain level of security around your building or facility is. We’ve worked on some very high profile projects that we consider our signature projects. We offer all types of secure fences that you may want to utilize such as chain link fences (available in non-climb and high security), crash rated fences, ornamental fences, crash rated barriers, crash rated vehicle barriers, anti-terrorism cable and more.

One of our signature projects was the Headquarters for the Department of the Interior, Washington, DC. Hercules Fence was tasked with installing many 2,500 pound hydraulic retractable bollards-specially engineered to support a K8 rating. The installation was extremely detailed oriented and site specific. It involved constructing the encasement to house the bollard receivers in place-all in a suspended area that is directly above existing parking garage. Multiple crews below the deck and above were required-all working in an extremely confined spaced. Hercules High Security Fence played an integral part in assisting in design and technical support throughout the entire installation.

Another one of our signature projects was the United States Naval Observatory, Washington, DC. This facility is one of the homes of the Vice President of the United States. Hercules High Security Fence installed thousands of feet of 10′ high fence around this prestigious location. The fence was a 10′ high, solid ornamental steel fence that our affiliate company, Hercules Custom Iron, fabricated and powder coated. This is an all welded fence system, with many custom gates, and areas of difficult excavation and difficult terrain were overcome. Additionally, Hercules was responsible for a concrete retaining wall, as well as the installation of force protection vehicle restraint system that was installed throughout the facility.

Those are just two of our signature projects. If that doesn’t convince you enough to choose Hercules High Security Fence, consider that we have developed a reputation since 1955 for professional service and quality installation.
