George Bush Intercontinental
Bush Intercontinental is the second busiest airport in Texas. As part of a November 2004 renovation and upgrade project at the airport, Stromberg Architectural Products created a series of 83 bollards composed of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). The bollards built by Stromberg actually covered utilitarian steel-post security bollards separating pedestrian walkways from drivable areas, restricting vehicle access to security-sensitive areas of the complex and providing for pedestrian safety. These bollards, measuring 3-1/2 feet in height with a diameter of 2-1/2 feet, were designed with a buff-colored natural stone finish. By using this method, the benefits of natural stone were achieved at a fraction of the cost.
- GFRC is lightweight when compared to traditional stone.
- GFRC bollards are quickly and easily installed.
- The GFRC covering of the bollards provides weather-resistant and fireproof protection with a tensile strength higher than that of steel.
- While providing a definite security function, GFRC bollards can designed in a manner to be aesthetically pleasing and complimentary to any location's existing architecture.
