1.0 Scope
The specification defines the procurement of an Automatic Hydraulic Rising Bollard
System, Model VP100, comprising of one, two, three or four vertical rising bollards
operating independently or in sets of two, three or four, a hydraulic pump(s), control
cabinet containing the controls and logic circuits and options as defined herein.
2.0 System Configuration
2.1 Bollard(s)
The system shall have a total of (enter quantity) bollard(s) installed
2.1.1
Multi bollards operating in sets.
The bollard system shall have (enter quantity) bollards operating together as a
set. Each set of bollards shall have its own controls and operate independently
of other systems.
2.1 Bollard Construction.
The bollard shall be a below ground assembly consisting of a square outer casing
complete with cable and drainage duct oulets and an inner bollard of heavy steel
cylindrical tube and an aesthetic polymer sleeve capable of being raised above
ground into the raised position. In the raised position the bollard shall present a
formidable obstacle to approaching vehicles. Upon impact, forces shall first be
absorbed by the inner bollard and then transmitted to the outer casing and
foundation.
2.3 Bollard Height
Height of the bollard in the raised position shall be 700mm as measured from
ground level to the top of the inner bollard.
2.4 Bollard Dimensions
Outer Casing: 250mm x 250mm x 1100mm
Inner Bollard: 168mm diameter
Aesthetic Sleeve: 200mm outside diameter to slide fit over the inner bollard
complete with two 50mm yellow reflective bands.
If Stainless steel is the preferred finish the finished diameter will be 168mm
2.5 Hydraulic Pump(s) & Circuit
Each bollard either working individually or working in multiples shall have its own
individual hydraulic pump situated above ground and within the main control
cabinet. The hydraulic circuit shall include all necessary control logic, hydraulic
hoses, quick release connectors and valves. Normal operation will allow the
bollards to lower in the case of a power fail. In security applications the hydraulic
circuit must be flexible enough to allow the bollards to remain in the raised
position in power fail. This must be specified at the time of order.
3.0 Control & Logic Circuits
ATG Access | CoBaCo House | North Florida Road | Haydock | Merseyside | WA11 9TP
3.1
Control Circuit.
A control circuit shall be provided to interface between the bollard(s) and the
hydraulic pump(s). This circuit shall contain all relays, timers and other devices
necessary for all the operations of the system as defined. All control
equipment shall be situated above ground and within the main control cabinet
3.2
Voltage
The control circuit shall operate from a 240 volt, 50Hz single phase supply. An
internal transformer shall reduce this to 24VC for all external devices.
3.3
Control Cabinet
The control panel shall be sufficient to house all the control circuits, hydraulic
pump(s) and other devices for operation of the system that do not require
external visibility (e.g. Radio Receiver) and shall be treated and finished in
Black or Stainless Steel with high security locks. The control panel shall have
a side access panel for a manual override system and a mains power supply
isolator.
The control cabinet dimensions shall be 950mm high x 760mm wide x 335mm
deep.
3.4
Inhibit Loop
The option of an inhibit loop may be installed around the rising bollard
preventing the bollard from rising if a vehicle is detected.
4.0 Peripheral Control Equipment
The final specification of devices required to operate the system will be
discussed and issued at a later date but may include devices such as Key Pad,
Intercom, Key Switch or Push Button.
5.0 Performance
5.1 Experience
The manufacturer shall have over 500 systems installed and in operation for a
minimum of 5 years with documented logs of all major components and design
features.
5.2 Speed of Operation
Normal speed of operation shall be capable of raising or lowering the bollards
between 5-6 seconds when operated at a repetition rate not greater than
ATG Access | CoBaCo House | North Florida Road | Haydock | Merseyside | WA11 9TP
specified in 6.3. The control system shall be capable of reversing the bollard
upward cycle at any time on a valid demand from the devices controlling the
system.
6.2 Frequency of Operation
The bollard shall be capable of 1000 up/down cycles per day.
6 Environment Data
The bollard system shall operate satisfactorily under the following environmental
conditions:
6.1 Extremes in Temperature
The bollard system shall operate between the following temperatures.
Normal Operating Temp for Control System:
Maximum Operating Temp for Hydraulic Oil:
Minimum Operating Temp for Hydraulic Oil:
40˚C to -15˚C
90˚C
- 54˚C
6.2 Rainfall
It is recommended the bollard outer casings are connected to a drain, if this is
not practical then a natural soak away should be constructed. It is imperative to
note that a natural soak away should only be considered if connection to a drain
is not practical, the success of a natural soak away will be dependant on the
ground conditions.
7 Quality Assurance
The manufacture will be accredited to ISO 9001/2000
7.1 Testing
Upon completion of the system build the bollard system will be fully tested at the
manufactures facility. The client will be invited to the Factory Acceptance Test for
signing off to verify functionality, operating speeds, workmanship and the
finished colour is matched against the order placed.
7.2 Shipment
The system will packaged in a sufficient manner for transport in the UK so that
the risk to damage is minimal. Export shipments shall be crated and be of
sufficient structural integrity to be lifted and transported by overhead crane or
forklift truck without failure.
8 Warranty
The system shall carry a full 12 months parts and labour warranty. The
manufacturer must be able to extend the warranty to cover a 5 year parts and
labour maintenance agreement at the placement of order if required by the client.

9 Manufacturer’s Data
9.1 Drawings and Installation Data
Method Statements, Risk Assessments, site specific layout and duct drawings
shall be sent to the purchaser within four weeks of placing an order.
A full operating manual will be issued on handover of the system.
10.0 Disclaimer
Careful consideration must be devoted to the selection, design and location of
an automatic rising bollard system in the same manner as any other product
that may be used to close off a roadway. Care must be taken to ensure
approaching vehicles and pedestrians are made fully aware that automatic
rising bollards are in operation through appropriate signage.
