Memory-Shape Accessible Urban Bollard Cast-In

Flexible Urban Bollard for Accessibility (PMR) with White Head – Memory-Shape Polyurethane

The flexible PMR urban bollard made from memory-shape polyurethane is specifically designed to improve both safety and accessibility in public spaces. Its high-visibility white head, available in ball or grooved versions, allows visually impaired pedestrians to easily identify obstacles and contributes to compliance with accessibility standards in urban planning.

Manufactured from high-performance polyurethane, this bollard offers excellent flexibility and impact resistance. In the event of a vehicle collision, the bollard bends and then automatically returns to its original upright position. This feature prevents permanent deformation and significantly reduces maintenance costs, making it a durable alternative to traditional rigid steel or cast iron bollards.

With a height above ground of 1310 mm, the bollard complies with regulatory requirements for urban street furniture intended to improve accessibility for people with reduced mobility. The white head improves visibility and helps visually impaired users detect the obstacle more easily, particularly in pedestrian areas, near schools, along sidewalks or in parking zones.

The bollard can be installed in two different ways depending on the layout requirements. It can be embedded directly into the ground for a permanent and highly secure installation, or mounted on a removable base to allow temporary removal during maintenance operations, construction work or public events.

Available in diameters of Ø80 mm or Ø100 mm, the bollard is offered in several discreet colours — black, brown, green or anthracite grey — allowing harmonious integration into various urban environments.

FAQ – Flexible memory-shape PMR bollard

Why is the white head important?

The white head improves the visibility of the bollard and helps visually impaired pedestrians identify obstacles more easily, in accordance with accessibility recommendations.

Is this bollard compliant with accessibility standards?

Yes, its height and visual design are adapted to French standards for accessible urban infrastructure.

What happens if a vehicle hits the bollard?

The bollard bends under impact and then automatically returns to its original shape thanks to the memory properties of polyurethane.

What is the difference between in-ground installation and a removable base?

In-ground installation provides a permanent anchoring in concrete, while the removable base allows the bollard to be removed temporarily when access is required.

Can it be installed outdoors all year round?

Yes, it is designed to withstand UV exposure, weather conditions and temperature variations from -20°C to +70°C.
