Memory-Shape Flexible Urban Bollard Cast-In

Flexible Urban Memory-Shape Bollard – In-Ground or Removable Installation

The flexible urban bollard made from memory-shape polyurethane is designed to effectively secure public spaces while providing excellent resistance to impacts. Unlike traditional rigid bollards, this model absorbs collisions and immediately returns to its original position after being struck. This property significantly reduces maintenance and replacement costs while also limiting damage to vehicles.

Manufactured from high-performance polyurethane, this bollard combines flexibility, mechanical strength and long-term durability. It is particularly suitable for urban areas where accidental contact with vehicles is common, such as pedestrian zones, cycle lanes, car parks, school surroundings and private access roads.

This model offers two installation options to meet the needs of municipalities and public space managers. It can be directly embedded into the ground for permanent installation, ensuring strong and durable anchoring. It can also be installed on a removable base, allowing the bollard to be easily removed for maintenance operations, construction work, events or temporary access requirements.

Available in diameters of Ø80 mm or Ø100 mm, the bollard integrates easily into different urban layouts. It is offered in several discreet colours — black, brown, green or anthracite grey — allowing it to blend harmoniously into city centres, residential areas or natural environments.

With a height above ground of 930 mm, it provides good visibility while meeting common urban street furniture standards. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, it resists temperature variations, humidity, UV exposure and repeated mechanical stress.
