Bollard Repair
Bollards take a beating, and that’s exactly what they’re designed to do. But after repeated impacts from forklifts, delivery trucks, and heavy industrial vehicles, even the toughest bollards can become bent, cracked, or structurally compromised. ABE Construction Group provides fast, professional repair services to restore your site’s protection before a damaged bollard becomes a liability. We assess the full extent of the damage, determine whether repair or replacement is the right call, and get the work done with minimal disruption to your operations.
Bollard Replacements and Upgrades
If your bollards are beyond repair, severely corroded, or simply no longer suited to the demands of your facility, replacement may be the smarter long-term investment. ABE Construction Group handles full bollard removal and replacement, including upgrading older concrete or plastic bollards to heavy-duty steel or retractable options
Where Should Bollards Be Placed?
The truth is that many commercial and industrial locations benefit from the protection of bollards. Some common areas where bollards are installed include:
Loading Docks
Loading docks are one of the most important areas of most industrial warehouses and distribution centres in the GTA. Heavy vehicle traffic, tight maneuvering spaces, and constant activity make loading docks a high-risk zone for accidental impacts. Strategically placed bollards protect dock equipment, building corners, and workers from costly collisions.
Commercial Storefront and Entrances
For commercial property owners and retail tenants, storefront security is about more than just locks and cameras. Bollards provide a critical physical barrier that addresses two of the most serious threats facing commercial entrances: accidental vehicle impacts and deliberate break-ins. A well-placed row of bollards makes it significantly harder for would-be thieves to drive a vehicle through your entrance, helping you protect your people, your inventory, and your building all at once
Pedestrian Areas
For facility managers, pedestrian safety is one of the most important responsibilities on any commercial or industrial site. Bollards help you meet that responsibility by creating clear, physical separations between vehicle zones and foot traffic areas. From parking lot crosswalks to outdoor common areas, strategic bollard placement reduces risk and demonstrates a visible commitment to site safety.
Daycares
As of 2025, bollards for licensed child care centres in Ontario are highly recommended. Typically, these installations secure high-risk areas like entrances, windows, and areas around playgrounds. At ABE Construction Group, we specialize in bollard installation for daycares, schools, and other child care facilities.
