Types of City Centre Bollards We Offer in Sydney

Our bollard systems are tailored to address the diverse needs of city centres, combining cutting-edge technology with robust physical barriers.

City Centre Bollards

City centre bollards are a critical component of urban security, providing a physical barrier that prevents unauthorised vehicles from accessing pedestrian zones and other restricted areas. Our bollards are designed to be:

  • Highly visible: Ensuring that drivers can easily see and avoid restricted areas.
  • Durable: Built to withstand collisions and resist tampering, providing reliable protection for public spaces.
  • Aesthetically pleasing: Available in various designs to blend seamlessly with the urban environment, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of city centres.

These bollards are ideal for protecting public squares, pedestrianised streets, and other areas where vehicle access needs to be carefully controlled.

City Centre Retractable Bollards

City centre retractable bollards offer the perfect balance between security and flexibility. These bollards can be raised or lowered as needed, allowing for controlled vehicle access during specific times.

Key features:

  • Automated: Our retractable bollards can be operated remotely or integrated with access control systems, allowing for easy management of vehicle access.
  • Discreet: When retracted, the bollards sit flush with the ground, ensuring they do not obstruct pedestrians or detract from the urban environment.
  • Robust: When raised, these bollards provide a strong physical barrier that prevents unauthorised vehicle entry, ideal for protecting high-risk areas within city centres.

City centre retractable bollards are particularly useful for areas that need to accommodate delivery vehicles, emergency services, or special events while keeping pedestrian zones secure during peak times.

City Centre ANPR Systems

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems are a crucial element of modern city centre security. These systems automatically capture and read vehicle number plates, allowing for real-time monitoring and control of vehicle access.

Key benefits:

  • Enhanced security: ANPR systems help enforce access restrictions by identifying and logging all vehicles entering and exiting the city centre.
  • Integration: Our ANPR systems can be integrated with other access control measures, such as retractable bollards and barriers, to create a comprehensive security solution.
  • Data: ANPR provides valuable data on vehicle movements, which can be used for traffic management, security audits, and enforcement of parking regulations.

By combining ANPR technology with our city centre bollards, you can ensure that only authorised vehicles gain access to restricted areas.
