Macs Bollards

University of Plymouth

The University of Plymouth asked Macs Automated Bollards to resolve an issue within one of it's newly refurnished areas of the campus. A configuration of one automatic rising bollard, together with a removable manual bollard and three static bollards was suggested as the ideal way of providing a controlled traffic zone in a part of the University campus which can have hundreds of students passing through every day.

Macs automated bollard systems have provided a well managed, safe and effective solution to this long standing issue.

Automatic Bollards - Powys County Council

Powys County Council constructed a new road to be used by a local bus service. Macs Automated Bollards created a restricted access bus route using one automatic rising bollard, we provided the local bus company with a tagmaster system which they were able to use to lower the automated bollard when required, the bollard was programmed to rise once the bus had cleared the safety loops which Macs Bollards have installed under the road. This has benefited the local community in that an isolated estate now has a bus service without creating a ‘rat run’ effect.

Automatic Bollards - Cornwall County Council

Macs Automated Bollards have 8 sites in the County of Cornwall; they are in Newquay, Truro, Redruth, Falmouth and St.Austell. These towns attract thousands of visitors each year, Macs Automated Bollards work in partnership with Cornwall County Council and have designed, installed and maintained each automatic bollard system to meet the bespoke requirements of each site. Many of our council's have automatic rise and fall bollards, traffic signals, fault monitoring and CCTV designed to complement the local colour schemes and to fit the aesthetics of the neighbourhoods.

Automatic Bollards - Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames

Kingston Borough Council required Macs Automated Bollards to install automatic rise and fall bollard systems with CCTV monitoring at 5 locations where vehicular traffic had become a problem, these were within the main shopping centre and pedestrian zones of this historic town centre, Kingston Borough Council can now control and monitor traffic flows through the MACS automated rising bollard system and are able to respond quickly to any technical faults with our inhouse designed remote access fault monitoring system. Kingston Borough Council have found that due to CCTV coverage maintenance costs are kept to a minimum as collision damage can be correctly attributed to the guilty party.
