Elite Precast’s Minion-Bollard® is facilitating maintenance and access in parks, according to Business Development Director, Paul Cartwright, as well as helping groundskeepers by offering a practical and flexible solution for managing restricted areas while ensuring the safety and accessibility of public spaces.

Here’s how they help…

Controlled Vehicle Access

The Minion-Bollard® prevents unauthorised vehicles from entering parks and playgrounds, protecting the environment and infrastructure from damage. However, their semi-permanent design allows them to be removed when authorised vehicles, such as maintenance trucks or emergency services, need access.

Simplified Maintenance

Groundskeepers can easily remove or reposition Minion-Bollards to access specific areas for tasks like mowing, landscaping or repairs. This adaptability ensures maintenance activities, such as mowing parklands, conducting maintenance tasks, or setting up special events can be easily carried out without permanent obstacles hindering operations.

Enhanced Safety

Minion-Bollards can be installed to guide pedestrians away from roads and car parks, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries. Their distinctive rounded shape serves as a clear visual marker while offering protection for visitor and staff.

Flexibility in Placement

As freestanding bollards, they do not require additional anchoring, making them highly flexible. Groundskeepers can reposition them as needed to adapt to seasonal changes, event setups or landscaping modifications.

Durability and Low Maintenance

Constructed from high-strength robust concrete, Minion-Bollards are resistant to environmental wear and tear, requiring minimal upkeep. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements or repairs, freeing up resources for other park maintenance activities and saving groundskeepers time and effort.

Protection Against Vehicles

These bollards prevent unauthorised vehicles from entering restricted areas or damaging grounds during events. They can be used for temporary or permanent edge protection without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the space.

Cost-Effective Multi-Purpose Design

Minion-Bollards can serve multiple purposes, such as supporting signage or connecting with barrier chain, or serve as standalone units. This versatility allows groundskeepers to use them for both functional and aesthetic purposes, enhancing the overall management of park spaces and eliminates the need for separate products for different uses, offering a cost-effective solution for managing public space.

By incorporating Minion-Bollards into their groundskeeping strategy, groundskeepers can ensure safer, more accessible and visually appealing spaces while simplifying their maintenance tasks.

These features make Minion-Bollards an efficient tool for balancing accessibility, safety and operational flexibility in park environments, making them a “new best friend” for groundskeepers.
