Elite Precast Concrete’s latest innovation, the Minion-bollard®, is revolutionising urban security and landscaping management.

The versatile precast concrete solution is rapidly gaining popularity amongst groundkeepers for its multifaceted benefits in parks, public spaces, golf courses, leisure facilities and urban environments.

Elite’s Business Development Director, Paul Cartwright explains how the Minion-bollard® is benefiting groundkeepers with their usage and businesses with their compliance and competitiveness, meaning the Minion-bollard® is ticking all the boxes for every stakeholder involved, including facility visitors.

Paul goes on to explain that the versatility of the Minion-bollards® offers groundkeepers the following benefits:

Access
Minion-bollards® are both permanent and semi-permanent, so can be removed to clear areas to allow for access or mow parklands, making them ideal of maintenance. This flexibility enables groundkeepers to efficiently maintain green spaces with permanent obstacles.

Versatility
As freestanding bollards, the Minion can be installed without additional anchoring. This allows groundkeepers to easily reposition them as needed for different events or seasonal changes in land usage.

Safety
By guiding pedestrians away from roads and car parks, Minion-bollards® help to minimise the risk of accidents or injuries. This creates a safer environment for both visitors and maintenance staff and as the name suggests, the distinctive shape serves as a clear visual maker, while offering security.

Maintenance
Concrete bollards, including Minion-bollards®, are designed for long-term performance with minimal upkeep. Their resistance to the elements and non-porous surfaces makes them less prone to staining and damage, reducing the workload for groundskeeping staff.

Access
For special events or maintenance work, Minion-bollards® can be quickly removed to allow vehicle access when needed. This feature is particularly useful for setting up events or bringing in equipment for groundskeeping tasks.

Protection
Stop cars and other vehicles from ruining your grounds or events. Minion-bollards® can be installed for permanent or temporary edge protection, without ruining the look of your area.

Cost Effectiveness
The bollards can be used as standalone units or be linked together, using chains and can hold signage, offering flexibility throughout your grounds, reducing the need for separate products for different usages.

Paul finishes by clarifying that by incorporating Minion-bollards®, groundkeepers can more effectively manage public spaces, while maintaining safety, accessibility, aesthetic appeal and most importantly making their lives easier.

The Minion offers functionality, security, availability and looks, which is why it’s the groundkeeper’s new best friend.
