Do you need clarification on a bollard term? Or do you want to examine all the options that are available for a bollard project?

Reliance Foundry’s informative, new bollard wiki has the information you need! A focussed online resource, the bollard wiki will become an invaluable tool for planning bollard projects and staying-up-to-date in the world of bollards.

October 16, 2013 - Reliance Foundry Co Ltd., North America’s premier supplier of bollards, bike racks, and custom castings is happy to introduce a new tool that defines bollards and explains their use. The all new bollard wiki can best be described as an online encyclopedia that deals exclusively with bollards. This comprehensive resource is dynamic and will be constantly updated to track and explain all developments and changes in the bollard industry. It will also be impartial and report on all products offered throughout the industry, even those not sold by Reliance Foundry so readers can rest assured that the bollard wiki is not a disguised sales pitch. With the unsurpassed level of information it provides, the all new bollard wiki will become an indispensable in weighing all the options available for bollard projects.

“Staying up to date with all of the developments in the bollard industry can be a chore,” says Reliance Foundry’s Sales Manager, Rick Pasternak. “So, we created a focussed resource that is dedicated to solely to cataloguing all the terms and uses.”

Once, the term “bollard” only referred to mooring devices, hitching posts and captured enemy cannons but the term has expanded to cover a whole host of traffic guidance and architectural devices. Today the term has expanded to include much more though. Bollards now cover a whole host of traffic management and architectural devices, including things as unique as child-like bollards, camera bollards and even robotic bollards. These changes and updates made staying up-to-date difficult and required regularly searching the catalogs of competing bollard suppliers. But, the once cumbersome task has become much easier with Reliance Foundry’s online bollards wiki. Now up-to-date bollard definitions and explanations are all included in one focussed reference. On top of definitions of bollard types, the bollard wiki also discusses bollard function, design, material composition and finish. It will become an indispensable tool in preparing and planning for bollard installations. Another great feature of this resource is that it is designed to be completely impartial. Although it is hosted by Reliance Foundry, the bollard wiki will cover product updates and developments industry-wide to provide users with the most extensive reference list available.

"This is a tool designed to help those that are involved in planning bollard projects so we focus on the whole industry, including some products Reliance Foundry doesn't offer, said Reliance Foundry’s Vice president of Sales and Marketing, Brad Done. “ Users can rest assured that the bollard wiki is not a disguised sales pitch for any specific bollard or any company."

An easy-to-use resource, the bollard wiki is designed to be a focused reference for the entire bollard industry, addressing the functions bollards perform, from architectural accents to top security protection; the many design choices available today; manual and automated rising bollard systems; and materials, finishes, mounting options and maintenance. Visit Reliance Foundry’s comprehensive bollard wiki for information on all of the functions bollards perform and the many design choices that are available.

"Spot on! I had a heavy fall from a tripod ladder, and part of my safety check now is a taught chain and front leg vertical and midway between both back legs. Absolutely never lean, always cut immediately in front of you! "
