Aggreko, Dumbarton:
Aggreko PLC, the world leader in the field of power and temperature control rental, became the first company in the UK to have Berry Systems’ SlowStop bollards installed at its new 170,000 sq ft Dumbarton facility.
The many internal and external vehicle doorways at the brand new Dumbarton site were identified very quickly as needing special protection. Glasgow architects Bradford Robertson considered a number of options before concluding, with main contractors Morgan Sindall, that our SlowStop bollards would prove a cost effective solution.
During a collision, the kinetic energy of the impact is progressively absorbed as the post tilts, compressing an elastomeric sleeve within the base. The post is able to tilt from its vertical position to an angle of 20 degrees before it locks within the base. After the impact, the post will return back to its vertical position, ready to perform once again.
A total of 104 SlowStop bollards were installed at Dumbarton, along with a variety of other products from our range.
