Bollard Installation and Repair in Plano, TX

Bollard installation and repair in Plano, TX protects your commercial property from vehicle damage while directing traffic flow in one of DFW’s premier corporate and retail destinations. C & D Commercial Services has been installing and repairing bollards for over 40 years. Plano sits in Collin County along US-75 (North Central Expressway) and SH-121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway). The city is home to Legacy Town Center, one of the premier mixed-use developments in DFW, with corporate headquarters, retail, dining, and residential in a walkable environment. US-75 and SH-121 are the primary commercial arteries, with corporate campuses and retail centers along the frontage roads. Preston Road has established retail corridors. The city has a mix of established corporate development from the 1980s through 2000s and newer development. The corporate campus environment means the properties have high aesthetic standards. Plano is consistently ranked as one of the best-managed cities in America, and the commercial properties reflect the high standards of the community. The bollards need to be both functional and professional.

We work with property managers, building owners, and facility directors in Plano who need bollard installation, bollard repair, and bollard replacement. Our crews handle the premium standards of Plano’s corporate and retail development.

Our approach starts with a site assessment. We walk the property and identify the areas that need bollard protection. For Plano corporate campus properties, the focus is on protecting building entrances, pedestrian walkways, and utility equipment from vehicle traffic while maintaining the professional appearance. The corporate headquarters and campus buildings have complex treatment requirements. The premium glass 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 Legacy Town Center, the mixed-use environment means the accessible routes are a critical part of the development. The pedestrian walkways, plazas, and curb cuts need bollards that meet the premium aesthetic standards while providing vehicle protection. The walkable design means the bollards need to be both functional and aesthetically appropriate. The outdoor environment means the bollards are exposed to weather and wear. The corporate, retail, dining, and residential traffic means the bollards need to handle heavy pedestrian flow.

For US-75 and SH-121 corridor properties, the focus is on protecting building corners, utility equipment, and pedestrian walkways from the commuter traffic. The frontage road properties see steady traffic from commuters. The security bollards need to be visible with reflective markings.

For Preston Road retail properties, the established retail corridor has storefronts that need both vehicle protection and a clean appearance. The mature trees along Preston Road create shaded zones, and the tree root systems can interfere with bollard footings. The parking lots may have settled over the years.

For properties that already have bollards, we assess the condition. The corporate environment demands a flawless appearance, and the bollards may need refinishing. The Legacy Town Center pedestrian traffic means the bollards may have been damaged by vehicle impacts, and we can repair or replace damaged bollards.

We install four main types of bollards for Plano commercial properties. Security bollards are steel pipe bollards, typically 6 inches in diameter, embedded in concrete and filled with concrete. For the US-75 and SH-121 corridor properties, the security bollards are essential for protecting building corners and utility equipment from the commuter traffic. The bollards are designed to stop vehicles and prevent damage to buildings and equipment.

Decorative bollards are the primary type for Plano properties. We install premium cast iron and stainless steel decorative bollards with custom powder-coated finishes. The corporate campus environment demands a flawless appearance, and the decorative bollards are selected to complement the property aesthetic. For Legacy Town Center, the decorative bollards complement the mixed-use environment. The bollards can be powder-coated in various colors to match the building facade and the development design standards.

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 Legacy Town Center, the lighted bollards improve safety for the evening pedestrian traffic from the retail, dining, and residential components. The corporate campus walkways also benefit from the lighted bollards.

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 Legacy Town Center events, removable bollards can provide temporary traffic control while allowing vehicle access for setup. The corporate campus loading areas can also benefit from removable bollards.

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 premium decorative bollards, 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 Legacy Town Center mixed-use development, and the Collin County clay in Plano. 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 Legacy Town Center pedestrian zones, we space bollards 4 to 5 feet apart. For the US-75 and SH-121 corridors, 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 corporate campus properties and Legacy Town Center 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 Collin 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 mixed-use aesthetic. The finishes can be powder-coated in various colors to match the building facade and the development design standards.

The entire process typically takes one day for a standard installation of 5 to 10 bollards. Larger installations for the corporate campus or Legacy Town Center 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 and the Legacy Town Center properties that have retail, dining, and residential traffic throughout the day and evening.

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.
