Bollard Installation and Repair in Irving, TX

Bollard installation and repair in Irving, TX protects your commercial property from vehicle damage while directing traffic flow in DFW’s premier corporate and convention destination. C & D Commercial Services has been installing and repairing bollards for over 40 years. Irving sits in Dallas County adjacent to DFW Airport, with SH-114, SH-183, and SH-356 as primary commercial arteries. The city is home to Las Colinas, one of the premier master-planned corporate communities in the United States, with corporate headquarters, high-rise offices, the Irving Convention Center, and the Toyota Music Factory entertainment venue. The airport proximity means the city has hotels and corporate offices serving airport travelers. The corporate environment demands high aesthetic standards, and the bollards need to be both functional and professional. The convention center and Toyota Music Factory draw event traffic from across the region. The city has a mix of the high-end Las Colinas area, established commercial corridors, and industrial properties along the SH-183 corridor.

We work with property managers, building owners, and facility directors in Irving who need bollard installation, bollard repair, and bollard replacement. Our crews handle the premium corporate standards and the convention center event traffic.

Our approach starts with a site assessment. We walk the property and identify the areas that need bollard protection. For Irving Las Colinas corporate campus properties, the focus is on protecting building entrances, pedestrian walkways, and utility equipment from vehicle traffic while maintaining the premium aesthetic standards. The corporate headquarters and high-rise offices have complex treatment requirements. The premium glass entrances and architectural features need bollards that do not damage the surfaces. The parking garages have specific installation requirements for the covered areas. The campus walkways need thorough protection for the corporate pedestrian traffic. A sloppy installation or mismatched bollard would be noticed in the corporate environment.

For the Irving Convention Center and Toyota Music Factory area, the event traffic creates a need for bollards that protect pedestrians from vehicle traffic. The pedestrian walkways, plaza areas, and venue entrances need bollards. The event traffic means the bollards need to handle the constant vehicle and pedestrian flow during events. We install decorative bollards that complement the entertainment district aesthetic.

For the DFW Airport hotel zone, the properties need bollards that provide vehicle protection while meeting the hotel aesthetic standards. The hotel entrances, parking lots, and pedestrian areas need bollards. The 24/7 airport traveler traffic means the properties need to be accessible at all hours. The airport shuttle pick-up areas need to be accessible.

For SH-183 industrial corridor properties, the focus is on protecting building corners, utility equipment, and pedestrian walkways from truck traffic. The loading dock areas need security-rated bollards.

For properties that already have bollards, we assess the condition. The corporate environment demands a flawless appearance, and the bollards may need refinishing. The event traffic can cause damage, and we can repair or replace damaged bollards.

We install four main types of bollards for Irving commercial properties. Security bollards are steel pipe bollards, typically 6 inches in diameter, embedded in concrete and filled with concrete. For the SH-183 industrial corridor, the security bollards are essential for protecting loading docks and building corners from the truck traffic. The bollards are designed to stop vehicles and prevent damage to buildings and equipment.

Decorative bollards are the primary type for Las Colinas corporate campuses, the convention center area, and the hotel zone. We install premium cast iron and stainless steel decorative bollards that complement the corporate and entertainment aesthetic. The corporate campuses have high aesthetic standards, and the decorative bollards need to meet those standards. The bollards can be powder-coated in various colors to match the corporate brand and the campus design standards. For the convention center, the decorative bollards complement the entertainment district.

Lighted bollards combine protection with illumination. These are used for pedestrian walkways and entrance areas that need lighting at night. The LED lighting is integrated into the bollard and provides a low-level light that improves safety without creating glare. For the convention center and Toyota Music Factory, the lighted bollards improve safety for the evening event traffic. For the hotel zone, the lighted bollards improve safety for the airport travelers arriving at all hours.

Removable bollards are used in areas that need temporary vehicle control. These bollards sit in a ground sleeve that is embedded in the pavement, and the bollard can be removed when vehicle access is needed. For the convention center events, removable bollards can provide temporary traffic control while allowing vehicle access for setup. For the hotel zone, removable bollards can provide temporary traffic control for shuttle operations.

We also install reflective markings on all security bollards. The reflective tape or paint improves visibility at night and in poor weather conditions. For the decorative bollards in the premium properties, the reflective markings can be applied in a way that does not detract from the professional appearance.

Our bollard installation process is designed for the premium corporate environment, the convention center event traffic, and the hotel zone conditions in Irving. The process starts with the site assessment. We identify the locations that need bollards, the type of bollard appropriate for each location, and the spacing between bollards. For the Las Colinas pedestrian zones, we space bollards 4 to 5 feet apart. For the SH-183 industrial corridor, we space security bollards 4 to 6 feet apart.

For installation in existing concrete, we core drill a hole at each bollard location. The core drill creates a clean hole through the concrete without damaging the surrounding pavement. The Las Colinas corporate campus properties typically have well-maintained concrete. The hole is typically 8 to 10 inches in diameter for a 6-inch bollard. We embed the steel pipe at least 18 inches for standard installations and 24 inches for security-rated bollards.

For installation in areas without existing concrete, we dig a footing and pour concrete. The footing is typically 24 inches deep, depending on the soil conditions. The expansive clay in Dallas County is active, and we may go deeper for security-rated bollards. For the corporate campus parking garages, the installation may have specific requirements for the covered areas.

After the bollard is installed, we apply reflective markings on security bollards. The reflective tape or paint is applied in a high-visibility pattern, typically alternating bands of white and orange or white and yellow. For the premium decorative bollards, we apply custom finishes that complement the corporate or entertainment aesthetic.

The entire process typically takes one day for a standard installation of 5 to 10 bollards. Larger installations for the corporate campus may take multiple days. We work with the property manager to schedule the installation at a time that minimizes disruption to the business operations, especially for the corporate properties that have daytime office traffic, the convention center that has event traffic, and the hotel zone that has 24/7 guest arrivals.

We do not list prices on a website because every bollard project is different. The number of bollards, the type, whether they are decorative or security-rated, whether we need to core drill into existing concrete or pour new footings, the spacing and layout. What we can tell you is that we have been installing bollards in DFW for over 40 years, and we have the equipment and crews to handle any project. Property managers who compare our quotes typically find we come in lower because we already have the concrete and paving crews on site for other work.
