Product Details:
Engineered Precast Concrete Strength
As one of Broxap’s precast concrete bollards, the Plaistow is produced under controlled factory conditions to ensure consistent quality, structural integrity and finish accuracy. Its solid cylindrical form and substantial mass make it suitable for applications where vehicle deterrence and pedestrian safety are paramount.
Typical applications include: • Town and city centre pedestrianisation projects • Civic squares and plazas • Transport interchanges • Retail and mixed-use developments • Education and healthcare campuses
The inherent strength of precast concrete ensures reliable resistance to impact, daily wear and environmental exposure, making it a dependable option within the concrete bollards UK market.
Dimensions and Physical Presence
The Plaistow concrete bollard is available in two height configurations: • 1100mm overall height (750mm above ground) • 1400mm overall height (1050mm above ground)
With a 250mm diameter, it provides a confident and substantial presence within the landscape. Its scale makes it well suited to use as a concrete security bollard in areas where clear boundary reinforcement is required without compromising visual cohesion.
The clean geometric profile allows it to articulate circulation routes, protect infrastructure and define pedestrian spaces with clarity.
Root Fixed for Secure Installation
Designed for root-fixed below-ground installation, the Plaistow ensures dependable anchorage and long-term structural stability. This installation method offers: • Enhanced resistance to displacement • Secure positioning in high-footfall areas • Suitability for vehicle delineation • Long service life in exposed public settings
For contractors and specifiers, root fixing provides a robust solution for permanent public realm installations where reliability is essential.
Finish Options for Context-Sensitive Design
To support design flexibility, the Plaistow is available in: • Smooth finish • Exposed aggregate finish
A range of standard colour mixes can be specified to coordinate with surrounding paving, hard landscaping and adjacent street furniture. This makes the Plaistow suitable for both contemporary schemes and more traditional civic environments.
As part of Broxap’s decorative concrete bollards offering, the Plaistow allows landscape architects and local authorities to integrate protective infrastructure without compromising aesthetic intent. Finish and colour selection should be confirmed at the point of order to ensure alignment with the overall project specification.
