Bollards are an effective safety and security solution used to protect buildings, pedestrians, and vehicles in both commercial and residential areas. At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate and install high-quality metal bollards, steel bollards, and stainless steel bollards designed for strength, durability, and long-term protection across Greater London and surrounding areas.


What Are Bollards?

Bollards are strong vertical posts installed in the ground to control traffic, protect property, and improve public safety. They are commonly used outside shops, warehouses, restaurants, parking areas, and residential driveways.

Steel bollards help prevent vehicle damage to buildings while also guiding traffic and protecting pedestrians in busy areas.

Common places where bollards are installed include:

  • Shopfronts and retail stores
  • Commercial buildings
  • Restaurants and cafés
  • Parking areas
  • Warehouses and loading bays
  • Residential driveways
  • Public walkways

Types of Bollards We Fabricate

At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate different types of bollards depending on the project requirements.

Fixed Steel Bollards

Fixed bollards are permanently installed into the ground with concrete foundations. They provide strong protection for buildings and storefronts.

They are commonly used for:

  • shopfront protection
  • warehouse entrances
  • building perimeter security

Removable Bollards

Removable bollards allow controlled vehicle access. They can be removed when needed and locked in place for security.

They are often used for:

  • private parking areas
  • restricted access roads
  • service entrances

Stainless Steel Bollards

Stainless steel bollards are commonly used in modern commercial areas where appearance is important. They offer corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.

These are popular for:

  • office buildings
  • restaurants
  • shopping centres
  • pedestrian zones

Standard Bollard Sizes

Bollards can be manufactured in different sizes depending on the level of protection required.

Typical bollard specifications include:

Diameter:
90mm – 168mm steel pipe

Height above ground:
900mm – 1200mm

Below ground foundation depth:
300mm – 600mm depending on installation type.

Material thickness:
3mm – 6mm steel depending on strength requirements.

At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate custom bollards based on client specifications and site conditions.

Key benefits include:

  • protection for buildings and storefronts
