A ram-resistant bollard system for prevention of ingress of vehicles onto a sensitive area that will completely stop a 15000 lb. truck, travelling at 30 mph in less than 3.3 ft wherein the bollard system comprises an upright element inserted into a base-plate which is secured onto a foundation structure made from two H-beams each made from a one-piece extruded metal form, wherein the two H-beams are connected to each other via at least one lower connector plate, partially overlapping and connected to the flanges on the lower surface of both H-beams, and wherein the base-plate is positioned above the flanges of the upper surface of the two H-beams, so as to be to be partially overlapping and connected to the top side of both H-beams via a plurality of small rectangular connection plates that are orthogonally positioned between the base-plate and the flanges of the H-beams.

A load support system includes an elongate support member having a first diameter and a first end and a second end. The elongate support member includes, toward the first end, a first portion for direct earth burial and further includes, toward the second end, a second portion to which the load can be coupled. The first portion has a first length. The system additionally includes a lateral support having a second diameter greater than the first diameter and a second length less than the first length. The lateral support is mounted about the first portion of the elongate support member. The lateral support includes a first opening formed therein at a first location relative to a long axis of the elongate support member and a second opening formed therein at a different second location relative to the long axis in order to support a range of embedment depths.

A barrier apparatus includes a barrier post mounted to a base and extending upwardly from the base. A brace of the barrier apparatus is configured to restrict relative movement between the barrier post and the base. The brace can be mounted to the base so that it extends upwardly and obliquely toward the barrier post. The brace can include block. A reinforcing tube can extend around the block. A mated connection to the front of the brace can include a first mating protrusion extending into a first mating hole, and a mated connection to the bottom of the brace can include a second mating protrusion extending into a second mating hole. The brace or another brace can extend into a rear corner positioned between the barrier post and the base.

A barrier system may include an impact receiving post having a sidewall defining an inner cavity. The impact receiving post may be bendable and may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a post length as measured from the proximal end to the distal end. An insert may be positionable within the inner cavity. The insert may have an insert proximal end, an insert distal end, and an insert length as measured from the insert proximal end to the insert distal end, the insert length being less than the post length. A foundation cage may be coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage may include a plurality of members that form a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage may be configured for installation beneath a ground surface.

Barriers, such as vehicle impact barriers for placing upon an existing surface such as a road surface, or a paved surface, or a pedestrian surface. Surface-mountable and removable barriers are described for use as vehicle impact barriers. Such barriers may be employed for rapid deployment in a street, causeway or other route.

An anchor system for anchoring a bollard. Some of the various embodiments of the present disclosure include a base and a rod. The rod is inserted into the ground to secure the rod to the ground. The base is connected to the rod to secure the base to the ground. The bollard is connected to the base to secure the bollard to the ground. Some other embodiments include the base, the rod, and/or a helical member, a nut, a washer, one or more prongs, and one or more set screws.

A bollard structure includes a base and a bollard. The base includes an upper wall, a lower wall, a first side wall extending between the upper and lower walls, a second side wall extending between the upper and lower walls and spaced apart from the first side wall, and a mid-wall extending between the upper and lower walls and between the first and second sidewalls. The bollard penetrates the upper wall and extends to the lower wall between the two sidewalls, such that the mid-wall extends from the bollard.

A readily replaceable accessible pedestrian signal station is described including a bottom base plate and a sacrificial base plate.
