The Minion-Bollard® – A Concrete Hero (without a cape)
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.
Secure, Efficient, Elite – The Concrete Advantage for Security within Agriculture
With a comprehensive range of precast concrete products specifically designed to enhance security and operational efficiency within the agricultural sector, Elite Precast Concrete is ideally placed to address the challenges faced by modern farms, particularly in safeguarding assets, livestock and infrastructure, according to Owen Batham, Sales and Marketing Director for Elite Precast.
These include concrete barriers and security blocks, including their signature Jersey Barriers and Jersey-Lite™ barriers, which are engineered for quick deployment and high durability. These barriers are ideal for:
Security farm perimeters against unauthorised access.
Protecting valuable machinery, storage areas and livestock from theft or intrusion.
Managing vehicle movements and traffic within farm premises – The interlocking design and high-strength concrete ensure barriers are both secure and easy to reposition as farm layouts and needs change.
Elite interlocking concrete blocks are used to construct storage bays, waste management areas and material bays, says Owen Batham. Both Legato® and Duo™ blocks are hardwearing, fire-resistant and suitable for aggressive environments where heavy machinery is in constant use. Their quick installation and long service life make them practical for rapidly enhancing farm security and organisation.
Precast retaining walls and storage bays not only help with land management and soil erosion prevention but also serve as physical barriers to restrict access to sensitive areas, further improving overall farm security.
Channels, ducts and lids protect underground utility services (such as power cables and water lines) from accidental damage and unauthorised tampering, contributing to both operational safety and security. Removable lids allow for easy maintenance while safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Owen continues with the benefits that precast concrete solutions can offer the Agricultural Sector, including:
Durability and Low Maintenance
All products are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy use and UV exposure, ensuring long-term security with minimal upkeep.
Rapid Deployment
Precast solutions can be installed quickly using standard farm equipment, minimising disruption and allowing for immediate security improvements.
Versatility
Products can be adapted for a variety of uses, from livestock encloses to flood defences, offering flexible solutions for evolving farm security needs.
Cost-Effectiveness
Long-lasting performance and potential eligibility for tax relief under the Annual Investment Allowances (AIAs) make these solutions economically attractive for agricultural businesses.
Owen concludes that Elite Precast Concrete’s tailored solutions provide agricultural businesses with the tools needed to secure their premises, protect assets and ensure the safety of livestock and infrastructure, all while maintaining operational efficiency and compliance with industry standards.
