[1]Bollards used to contribute to safety and security are extensive. The wikipedia:American Bar Association (ABA) state that bollards are used to contribute to wikipedia:homeland security.[2] Also the NIBS’s site—the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG)—recommends in its Design Guidance that open spaces surrounding and contiguous to buildings be included as integral parts of a security design.[3] See Crime prevention through environmental design for more.
Security-related Bollard types
In the security industry physical site security bollards have assumed a prominent role, of which there are two main kinds:
- non-crash-resistant bollards
- crash- and attack-resistant bollards, a hardened barrier systems used to protect military, governmental and other buildings or compounds of higher security levels.[4] They are often used by retailers to prevent "Smash and Grab" burglary. Large concrete planters are a decorative alternative to traditional bollards.
According to the National Institute of Building Sciences, non-crash resistant bollards are "perceived impediments to access" and address the actions of two groups.
- Law-abiding persons who comply with civil prescriptions of behavior as defined by the manner in which bollards are put to use;
- Potentially threatening and disruptive persons for whom bollard applications are proscriptive by announcing their behavior is anticipated and additional levels of security await them.[5]
