Reliance Foundry’s R-6101 crosswalk bollard is designed to alert distracted walkers as they approach intersections. This bollard has a lit cap that changes from red to green with the pedestrian crossing traffic lights, informing pedestrians when it is safe to cross the street.
Before installation
Study the site plans
Study the site plans and confirm location of the bollard.
Check for hazards
Always check for hazards such as water pipes, gas lines, and underground wiring before digging.
Note: You may need a permit to dig to certain depths or in certain locations.
Drill hole for bollard and electrical connection
Drill a hole in the desired location with a minimum diameter of 200 mm [7.87"] and a depth of 60 mm [2.36"]
Using a disk cutter, open a hole that is 15 mm [0.59"] in width and 50 mm [1.97"] in depth for connecting the bollard to the nearby traffic light.
Brush away any dust and debris from the holes.
Dry the hole with a blowtorch to remove any moisture.
Following manufacturer’s instructions, pour glue Sikadur 42 SP until it reaches half the height of the hole where the bollard will lie.
Insert the bollard into the hole and clean away any excess glue.
Check bollard is vertically straight and in the correct orientation.
Allow the glue to dry completely as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect the wires from the bollard to the traffic light controller.
Cover the channel for the wires with the appropriate material for the location and allow to dry or cure completely.
Ensure the bollard is plumb.
