Bollard Socket Systems From Glasdon
View the Glasdon entry on BPindex
Glasdon UK Limited are manufacturers of quality and cost-effective road traffic bollards, made from rigid Durapol® material or self-righting Impactapol® material. With bollards commonly being used to mark hazards, collisions and accidents will often cause them to become damaged, requiring replacement. If the damaged bollard is installed as a permanent fixture, it could prove difficult, expensive, and dangerous to replace. That’s where socket systems come in
Offered as a specialised fixing option for their bollards, Glasdon’s socket systems are designed to make it quicker and easier to install and remove bollard posts. Built into the ground, Glasdon’s socket systems allow bollards to be inserted and withdrawn at will, with the full process taking only seconds.
The benefits are numerous – not only will personnel spend less time performing maintenance on or near roadways, but socket systems remove the need for any expensive and disruptive groundwork beyond an initial installation. Instead, Glasdon’s socket systems can outlast multiple different bollards and continue to accept replacements throughout their life span.
Additionally, should an abnormally wide load require extra road space, or if vehicles need access to an area for a special event, socket systems provide the extra flexibility required. Simply remove and re-insert the bollard posts as needed, inserting a socket blanking plate into the system to nullify any trip hazards caused by the opening.
Glasdon’s Standard Socket System has been designed in detail and tested to stringent standards by our QA engineers to ensure durability and value for money. Compatible with rigid Durapol® bollards, posts can simply be slotted into the aperture for strong and unmoving placement.
Alternatively, Glasdon’s newest and most advanced Lockfast™ Socket System is made of Durapol® material and features a twist lock for added durability. Compatible with both rigid Durapol® bollards and self-righting Impactapol® bollards, the Lockfast™ model allows bollards to be oriented in two directions, and provides directional arrows, visual logo aids, and a square profile to make installation smoother and more streamlined.
