Assignment A
Part A
I would suggest the use of either two boom gates on each of the points to be blocked or bollards
that retract into the ground when not required. Give that the blockade is to be manual the entry and
exit procedures will be the same with the person to move the block then replace after.
If boom gate is to be used then it should use a steel column for strength and an aluminium gate with
counter balance for ease of moving. If bollard is used it should be either powder coated or
galvanised to prevent rusting. In both cases it should be easily visible to prevent accidental collisions.

Securapost bollards
Retractable bollards are designed for medium security applications such as traffic and parking
control. (Note: Retractable should not be used where high security locking is required, such
as car yards etc. For these applications insurance companies insist on our “Cam-lok”
removable bollards).
Using the unique ‘T’ handle key to access the internal locking mechanism simply lower the
bollard into the in ground casing.

Design standards for boom gates are generally between 3 and 6 metre. Most use aluminium
poles with a steel column. More expensive models incorporate breakaway security to prevent
excessive damage to both car and gate when impacted.
The bollards are generally 900 height and use galvanised steel. They have different wall
thicknesses for different levels of security.
I think the bollard is a good option to consider because it is easy to open and close. The
retractable bollards are well protected from vandalism and damage. It is easily visible when
extended. It is strong enough to with stand cars hitting it. Relatively low maintenance and
doesn’t get in the way when not required. There is no chance to it coming down and hitting a
car like a boom gate can.
