What are airport bollards?
The barrier poles are frequently seen on the sidewalk or in the pedestrian area. Bollards are the term given to these poles. Bollards act as a fence, limiting the sidewalk area so that motorcyclists do not break through. As a result, pedestrians on the sidewalk are safer and more comfortable. One of the examples is provided below.
In addition to sidewalks, bollards are common in the harbor area. This type of bollard is also known as a marine bollard, a dock bollard, or a ship bollard. Its function is to anchor the ship’s rope. The shape of these marine bollards is shorter, but they are still strong. One of the examples is given below.
So, what are the functions of the airport bollards?
Bollards are installed in the airport area to protect the rotunda (a building on the airport airside that connects several passenger loading bridges or garbarata) due to the high volume of ground handling activities.
As a result, it is feared that if a pushback car is moving backwards or the maneuver is too tight, it will damage the rotunda foundation.
Furthermore, it is to protect all pole and under building facilities in the apron movement area.
This bollard is made of black steel pipe SCH 80 and measures 120 cm in height and 4 inches in diameter. The bollards are installed around the rotunda as part of the installation method. Then, steel pipes connect one bollard to another bollard.
