Carpark safety boosted by bollards

A-Safe bollards are proving a success in the car parks of Bluewater, one of Britain's busiest shopping centres.

They were specified by Vita Lend Lease who maintains the 200 acres of public access car parks which have 13,000 parking spaces.

Public safety is of the utmost importance, but a balance must also be struck with cost effectiveness. ASafe's 750mm high bollards provided a solution. They are installed throughout the car parks. The company chose ASafe for its competitively priced, easy to install, highly visible bollards which proved more cost effective than a previous system.

Paul Birkett, senior facilities manager, comments: "We initially trialled A-Safe in October 2007 and since then have taken several further orders amounting to over 525 bollards. They've been a great success, proving themselves tremendously effective in providing protected walkways for public safety."
