Unlike traditional cast iron alternatives, the St Helens PU bollard benefits from the inherent flexibility of polyurethane. This material allows the bollard to absorb minor impacts and return to shape, helping to reduce long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
Key performance benefits include:
• Impact-resistant duracast™ polyurethane construction
• Reduced risk of cracking or permanent deformation
• Lower maintenance requirements compared to brittle materials
• Suitable for high-traffic urban environments
As one of Broxap’s rebound bollards, it is well suited to areas exposed to occasional vehicle contact, such as car parks, town centres and shared surface streets.
The St Helens design incorporates a cannon ball style top and decorative rings, offering a classic aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into:
• Conservation areas
• Historic town centres
• Civic squares
• Residential developments
• Public highways and pedestrian zones
Decorative highlighting is available (gold as standard, with alternative colours available on request), allowing the bollard to align with local authority branding or heritage colour schemes.
To accommodate varying site requirements, the St Helens polyurethane bollard is available with multiple fixing options (£POA):
• Root fixed
• Base plate mounted
• Removable fixing
This flexibility ensures suitability for both permanent highway installations and locations requiring occasional access, such as emergency or service routes.
Reflective banding is also available to improve visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety in both urban and rural settings.
While manufactured as standard in duracast™ polyurethane, the St Helens design is also available in cast iron for projects requiring a traditional material specification.
Specifiers can therefore select the most appropriate material depending on:
• Impact risk
• Maintenance strategy
• Heritage considerations
• Budget requirements
As part of Broxap’s wider range of street bollards and highway bollards, the St Helens model can be specified alongside complementary street furniture such as benches, litter bins and pedestrian guardrail systems to create cohesive public realm schemes.
Typical specification considerations include:
• Required bollard spacing and layout
• Vehicle overrun risk
• Visibility and reflective requirements
• Surface type and foundation design
• Accessibility compliance
The standard price is based on a single root-fixed duracast™ polyurethane bollard painted in one standard Broxap colour (black as standard), with additional options available at extra cost.
