Steel bollards supplied to Hamilton
Hamilton became one city on January 1, 2001, when the old city was merged with Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek, and the result is a municipality with many kinds of sites: the downtown core and lower-city commercial streets, large suburban retail plazas on the Mountain, rural properties in Flamborough and Glanbrook and an industrial waterfront with steelmaking and port operations.
Ontario Bollard Company fabricates bollards to order in Ontario and ships across Canada, so we can supply Hamilton sites with posts made to your diameter, height and finish. Where site installation is part of the order, we arrange it by conversation and confirm what is included in writing.
What different Hamilton sites need
Industrial yards need heavy-wall posts to protect equipment, hydrants and gates from trucks and loaders. Retail plazas need posts at storefronts and beside parking lanes that look tidy and are easy to see. Older downtown buildings often have narrow frontages and tight laneways, where spacing and height have to be carefully set. Rural and institutional properties may need removable posts at gates and service roads, which lift out for access.
The escarpment adds its own detail: sloping approaches and drainage, which affect how a post is set and how water is kept away from sleeves.
Choices we help Hamilton customers make
- Fixed or removable, depending on access needs
- Schedule 40 or heavy-wall pipe, matched to the impact
- Concrete fill and caps
- Hot-dip galvanized for salt and weather
- Safety-yellow or black powder-coat
- Surface-mount plates or embedded posts
- Quantity, spacing and delivery schedule
Supplied or installed: how the order works
There are two ways to order. In a supply-only order, we make the posts, finish them and ship them to Hamilton, and your contractor sets them. In a supply-and-install order, we handle the site work as well. Either way, we need the dimensions, the slab conditions and the vehicles you are protecting against. The more detail you give us, the better the posts will fit the job.
We recommend sending photographs of the location. A picture of a loading dock corner or a gas meter often shows us something that a description does not.
Planning for the escarpment and the winter
Hamilton sits below and above an escarpment, so many sites slope or sit beside retaining walls, and meltwater runs across lots in spring. A post set in a low spot can sit in standing water through the freeze-thaw season, which is hard on steel and on the concrete around it. We discuss drainage, galvanizing and base details when we specify posts, and we recommend caps that keep water out of hollow pipes.
If a post will be removable, the sleeve needs a drain and a tight cap. We check those details so that a sleeve does not fill with water and ice.
