• Immovability and impact resistance (22 kg Cast Iron): The critical mass and thickness of the cast iron casting guarantee excellent mechanical strength, capable of withstanding light accidental impacts during maneuvering and discouraging acts of vandalism.
• Anti-corrosion shield with micaceous painting: The finish with micaceous iron color paint seals the porosity of the metal, offering superior barrier protection against rain, smog, constant humidity, and seasonal temperature fluctuations.
• Classic aesthetics for historic centers: The cylindrical shaft enriched by helical flutings and the spherical knob integrates harmoniously into ancient urban contexts, period avenues, or city squares of architectural prestige.
• Accident-prevention height above ground (80 cm): The external height is perfectly calibrated to ensure maximum visibility for both pedestrians (avoiding tripping risks) and vehicle drivers during maneuvers.
• Permanent and solid floor anchoring: The 20 cm lower section is structurally designed to be cemented below ground level, ensuring a rigid and immovable bond with very high stability.

This cylindrical cast iron bollard finds its ideal and natural placement within historic centers, municipal squares, pedestrian avenues, urban sidewalks, public parks, and areas adjacent to monuments. Thanks to the resistant micaceous finish and the weight of 22 kg, it is the perfect technical device to install in the perimeter areas of institutional buildings, schools, universities, hotels, company entrances, and reserved parking lots where it is necessary to prevent illegal parking and safeguard the safety of passers-by within a defined footprint.

The h682_16 model is the correct choice when the urban furniture and road management plan requires a heavy, decorative, and durable boundary post, with a significant diameter of 15 cm for a clear visual impact. It proves preferable to light aluminum or sheet metal variants because the monoblock cast iron structure with helical flutings does not deform under pressure and resists wear in busy urban contexts without requiring periodic maintenance. Choosing this in-ground product means investing in a stable furniture element in compliance with the law that guarantees absolute respect for geometric heights and maximum protection of pedestrian paths.

What is the specific function of the micaceous painting applied to this cast iron bollard?

Micaceous painting is a high-performance industrial protective coating containing lamellar structure pigments (micaceous iron oxide). This treatment creates an overlapping waterproof physical barrier that shields the cast iron from the action of water, smog, humidity, and UV rays. In addition to ensuring a rough, metallic cast iron color aesthetic finish typical of historic urban furniture, it blocks oxygen penetration at the source, eliminating the formation of rust on the outside.

How should the ground anchoring be performed to ensure the height above ground of 80 cm?

The base of the bollard is structurally designed for in-ground anchoring directly into the ground or pavement. Compared to the total height of the product of 100 cm, the established height above ground is 80 cm; this means that the lower portion of 20 cm must be inserted into a hole cored in the asphalt or soil. This base is then embedded and permanently locked using a structural concrete pour, making the post immovable.

Are the 15 cm diameter and 22 kg weight suitable for countering vehicle ramming?

Yes, the 15 cm (150 mm) diameter offers excellent visibility and a significant impact section for motorists, acting as a strong visual deterrent. The self-weight of 22 kg, deriving from the thick cast iron casting, combined with the correct 20 cm embedding in concrete, gives the bollard high mechanical resistance to thrusts and accidental impacts during maneuvering, effectively preventing vehicle access to pedestrian areas.
