Retention Sockets

The NAL Retention Socket System has been installed on all protective Hoop Bollards located in front of each pump at a new Petrol station in Ludlow.

The Retention Sockets were installed at the same time as the concrete slab works and fitted with pedestrian plugs allowing the hoops to be installed at a later date. This enabled unobstructed and safe access for the canopy erection, which traditionally was hampered by the Hoop Bollards.

The bollards were installed into the Retention Sockets once all the forecourt works were completed. As these bollards are prone to vehicle impact, the Retention Socket provides the ability to remove and replace damaged bollards within minutes, without the need for lengthy, expensive and disruptive civils and hot works.
