EAB – Engineered to Save Lives

Australian Bollards Roadside Services and Saferoads Divison are the sole distributors of Energy Absorbing Bollards which are engineered to save lives.

What sets this bollard apart from the others? Unlike regular bollards, which are placed to serve as barriers preventing unwanted vehicles from entering an area, the Energy Absorbing Bollards (EAB) are used to protect vehicle operators and those around them. They absorb shock energy, redirected from the vehicle and stop it in place, minimising the risk of injury or fatality of the driver and those around them.

The structural design of the EAB ensures minimal impact for the driver and vehicle. EABs are ideally placed in highly populated areas to protect people and assets. The sole purpose of the EAB is in the name – to absorb the impact of kinetic energy, safely decelerating the vehicle to a steady and controlled stop.

How?

Energy Absorbing Bollards are engineered to the Australian and New Zealand criteria AS/NZS 3845:1999. EAB is classified as a non-re-directive crash attenuator, stopping a 1.6 tonne vehicle travelling up to 60 kph. Inside, the EAB cartridge decelerates the vehicle by absorbing the kinetic energy, minimising the risk of injury or fatality.
