Installing a crash-rated bollard involves more than choosing the right security rating. Proper drainage is a critical part of a successful installation and can prevent costly field modifications and project delays.
In this 60-Second Engineering Tip, Delta Scientific President Keith Bobrosky explains why bollard drainage should be considered during project planning and demonstrates how custom side-drain configurations can provide additional foundation clearance when underground utilities or infrastructure create installation challenges.
Whether you're designing a government facility, military installation, embassy, data center, airport, stadium, or other critical infrastructure project, understanding drainage options can help ensure your crash-rated bollard system is installed correctly the first time.
In this video:
✔ Why bollard drainage matters
✔ Standard bottom-drain configuration explained
✔ Custom side-drain solution for challenging installations
✔ How to gain additional foundation clearance around underground utilities
✔ Engineering support for site-specific applications
Delta Scientific engineers work closely with architects, consulting engineers, security consultants, contractors, and government agencies to develop vehicle access control solutions that meet both security requirements and real-world installation constraints.
