Bollard Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia
Vehicle impact is one of the most common causes of damage to buildings, equipment, and pedestrians on industrial and commercial sites — a reversing truck or forklift can strike a column, tank, pipeline, or doorway in seconds. A Bollard from Century Experts provides a fixed, visible barrier that absorbs or deflects that impact before it reaches whatever’s behind it.
Century Experts fabricates Bollards from heavy-wall structural steel pipe, welded and finished by qualified personnel under approved procedures, with a below-ground foundation or surface-mounted base plate depending on the installation surface and required impact resistance. Each bollard is sized and positioned based on the level of protection needed, whether that’s marking a pedestrian zone or stopping a loaded vehicle from reaching a critical structure.
We manufacture both standard and custom-built Bollards in various diameters, heights, and mounting types, including fixed, removable, and retractable configurations. Engineering calculations and third-party certification can be provided upon request.
We proudly supply Bollards throughout Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail, Al Khobar, Yanbu, Makkah, Madinah, Qassim, Al Kharj, NEOM, and across Saudi Arabia.

- Client specifications and project requirements
Compliance is subject to the approved design, client specifications, applicable project requirements, and relevant regulatory standards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a Bollard?
A Bollard is a fixed or removable steel post installed to protect structures, equipment, or pedestrians from vehicle impact, and is also commonly used to mark pedestrian zones or control vehicle access on a site.
2. How is a Bollard different from a barricade or guardrail?
A bollard is a single vertical post designed primarily to absorb or stop a direct vehicle impact at a specific point, whereas a barricade or guardrail forms a continuous line intended more for general edge protection or demarcation over a wider area.
3. Does filling the bollard with concrete make a difference?
Yes. A concrete-filled core significantly increases the bollard’s impact resistance compared to an empty steel pipe, and is commonly specified where higher-speed or heavier vehicle impact is a realistic risk.
4. Should the bollard be fixed, removable, or retractable?
Fixed bollards suit permanent protection points, removable bollards allow occasional vehicle access to be opened up when needed, and retractable bollards are used where the area needs to switch between vehicle and pedestrian use regularly.
5. How deep does the foundation need to be?
Foundation depth depends on the bollard height, expected impact load, and soil or slab conditions at the installation point, and is calculated as part of the engineering design rather than fixed at one standard depth.
6. Can bollards be installed on an existing concrete slab instead of a new foundation?
Yes, using a surface-mounted base plate bolted into the existing slab, though this generally offers lower impact resistance than a below-ground foundation and is better suited to demarcation than high-impact protection.
7. What standards does your Bollard comply with?
Our Bollards can be designed with reference to ASTM F3016, IWA 14-1 for higher-security applications, and project-specific client requirements.
8. Is documentation or testing available for the bollard?
Yes. We can provide engineering calculations and a Certificate of Conformity upon request, and where a specific impact rating is required, we can advise on third-party impact testing options.
9. Can the bollard be customized for our site’s protection needs?
Yes. We fabricate Bollards to custom diameter, height, mounting type, concrete fill, and finish, based on the vehicle traffic and impact protection requirements at your site.
