ASF Boston Load Bearing Trough Bollard, Liverpool Football Club

PROJECT: ASF Boston Load Bearing Trough Bollard, Liverpool Football Club CLIENT: I D Verde / Liverpool FC INFO: ASF were already supplying the ram raid resistant version of the popular ASF 5002 stainless steel bollard to this site when we were approached regarding fold-down or removable bollards for the player's entrance of the stadium. The initial discussion showed that the ASF 652 Trough Bollard would be most suitable. Even though this standard bollard trough has been used for many years without issue, including use in bus stations and delivery yards, the client wanted more reassurances regarding the load-bearing capacity of the trough lid when folded down PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS: ASF has previously developed a trough bollard for use in the USA that meets their H20 loading standards. By US standards this is described as being suitable for 'large trucks and semi's This product was proposed for use at the Anfield Football Ground site for the entrance where players and officials vehicles enter and leave the ground, as well as players coaches and some other delivery vehicles. The ASF Boston Trough was approved and was manufactured to house the same bollard as supplied on the rest of the site so that when in an upright position the continuity of style was perfect. The ASF Boston Trough Bollard is manufactured to take loads of up to 32,000lbs axle weight, and the site engineers deemed this more than suitable for the passing over of players coaches. On the same site, ASF also manufactured an access ramp for a disabled toilet. The ramp was to fix to the front of a portacabin, and have side skirts and handrailing, but be suitable to be moved in future if necessary. ASF manufactured a unit that is at once bespoke and modular so that it can be moved if the facility moves, and has a good amount of flexibility should the requirements change slightly.
