Bollards
Elite Precast Concrete manufactures and supplies Concrete Bollards that are designed for vehicle deterrence, perimeter protection and public realm safety across the UK.
Engineered from high-strength precast concrete, our bollards provide robust, low-maintenance protection for commercial, industrial and infrastructure environments.
Suitable for both permanent and temporary installations, they offer a simple and effective solution for safeguarding assets and controlling vehicle access.
Standard Concrete Bollards are precision-cast from high-strength 50 N/mm² concrete and stand ready to withstand vehicle impacts, vandalism and forced entry attempts.
What are Bollards?
Concrete bollards are widely used for physical vehicle restriction and impact protection due to their strength, durability and long service life.
Unlike lightweight alternatives, precast concrete bollards provide dependable stability and resilience in demanding environments.
For defence and high-security environments, concrete bollards are used to control vehicle access, protect personnel and safeguard critical infrastructure. They act as a physical barrier to prevent unauthorised or hostile vehicle entry.

Why Choose Bollards?
Concrete bollards are commonly integrated into wider safety schemes to:
Prevent unauthorised vehicle access
Protect pedestrians and building frontages
Create defined exclusion zones
Support site security planning
Enhance perimeter control
Their solid construction and visible presence help reinforce controlled environments while maintaining practical access where required.
For military and defence planners, standard concrete bollards provide permanent perimeter fortification and high-impact resistance for persistent perimeter security. They are ideal for critical infrastructure such as military installations, airports and command centres.
Bollards help mitigate:
Vehicle-borne threats (VBIEDs)
Unauthorised vehicle access
Accidental vehicle incursions
They are a key component in layered security strategies and are commonly installed alongside blast walls and perimeter fencing, gates and access control systems, road blockers and barriers, and surveillance and monitoring systems.
Installation Overview
Depending on project requirements, concrete bollards can be:
Installed below ground for permanent security
Integrated with fencing, barriers or gates
Used as standalone vehicle deterrents
Our team can provide guidance to ensure the appropriate specification for your project.
Technical specifications, dimensions and installation guidance are available upon request.
Compliance & Technical Support
Precision-cast from high-strength concrete. Reinforced concrete construction. Suitable for surface-mounted or below-ground permanent installation (subject to specification).
Safety & Responsibility
Please consider the weight and installation requirements when choosing concrete bollards, as they may need specialised equipment for placement.
Local regulations and standards should be followed to ensure proper installation and compliance with safety guidelines. Consulting with professionals or local authorities is recommended when considering the use of concrete bollards in specific projects or environments.
