The homeland security threat to urban and corporate
campus facilities makes bollards a necessity for protetive
standoff zones for at-risk structures. SecureUSA ®
invented shallow foundation bollard solutions that
meet stringent ASTM performance specifications in
circumstances which would normally preclude the use
of “standard” deep foundation bollards. They do it with
aesthetic style and design sensitivity, without sacrificing
performance. T The SecureUSA ® SideWALK ® Bollard
was developed to overcome the installation challenges
commonly found in any location where underground
infrastructure and utilities prevent deeper excavation.
They carry ASTM-C40 to M50 crash ratings/zero penetration
with a single bollard strike in as little as 6 inch
foundation depths and a footprint designed to fit in virtually
any sidewalk pavement. Standard crash rated bol-

lards typically require foundation depths of up to three
feet or more to achieve desired crash ratings. In major
metropolitan cities where the area under the pavement
and streets are crowded with utilities and other infrastructure,
a deeper foundation is virtually impossible.
Even other “shallow” bollards that have been subjected
to actual crash tests require deeper foundations than the
minimal 9 inches for SecureUSA’s ASTM-M30 (15,000lb
vehicle @ 30 mph) and M50 (15,000lb vehicle @ 50
mph) product. The SideWALK ® Bollard Series consists
of individual bollards that are easy to install even when
