Bollard design for trails and fire protection Page 3 of 8 <br /> and,by implication,at the trailhead itself"Set up time"(as the codes suggest)should take no more than two more minutes.This includes <br /> traversing a bollard barrier at the trailhead or some other access roadway. <br /> Our experience in the field,with both trailheads and urban and suburban apparatus access roads,has taught us that bollards and the ease with <br /> which they are dismantled vary considerably by design and environmental and climatic conditions.Having explored these variations,we hope to <br /> provide trail designers and local authorities having code jurisdiction heretofore unavailable design performance measures on bollard takedown <br /> times_ <br /> Market-swilable generic bollard designs:Without reference to brand name,five common(generic)bollard designs were tested in reference to the <br /> amount of time it took first responders to prepare the trail entrance or traditional fire lane so that the apparatus could enter.Take-down tasks,take- <br /> down time,and a photo of each design are presented here. <br /> Padlocked Removable Bollard(take-down:60-75 seconds) <br /> Padlocked Removable Bollard <br /> •Take-down:60-75 seconds <br /> •Single fireman exits apparatus <br /> •Goes to key box <br /> •With master key opens box and retrieves padlock key <br /> •Bends over,unlocks and removes three padlocks <br /> •Removes bollards from their bases <br /> •Sets bollards aside <br /> •Fireman returns to apparatus <br /> http://www.americantrails.org/resources/trailheacb33>llard-oakes-fire-protection.html 10/18/2017 <br />
