Abstract

A safety bollard system for stopping a vehicle. The safety bollard system comprises a pipe, a beam, and one or more pieces of rebar. The pipe has an upper portion and a lower portion, with the lower portion of the pipe being secured in the ground and the upper portion extending from the surface of the ground. The lower portion of the pipe comprises an engagement section and a structure section, with the engagement section being positioned below the structure section. The engagement section can include one or more set of opposing apertures. The beam is housed inside of the pipe and extends from a bottom of the structure section and into the upper portion of the pipe. The one or more pieces of rebar can be inserted through the one or more set of opposing apertures, thereby securing the safety bollard system such that the vehicle stops upon impact.
