Commercial Bollard Installation in Southeast Michigan

Cieslak Concrete Construction installs and replaces commercial safety bollards across Southeast Michigan — excavation or coring, concrete footings, setting and plumbing the posts, concrete filling and finish work around the base. Because bollard specifications, quantities, footing requirements and site conditions vary significantly, every bollard project is priced individually from your drawings, specifications or scope of work.

Bollards protect the parts of a property vehicles should never reach — storefronts and entrances, pedestrian areas, utility equipment, dumpster enclosures and the corners of buildings. When they are installed correctly, they disappear into the property. When they are installed poorly, they lean, heave and crack the concrete around them within a few Michigan winters.

The difference is almost entirely below the surface. A bollard is only as good as its footing: the excavation depth, the footing size, how the post is set and braced, and how the concrete is placed and finished around it. That is the part of the job we control carefully, whether we are setting two posts at a back door or a full row across a storefront.

We work from your drawings, specifications or scope of work — for property owners and managers, facility maintenance companies and general contractors. Scopes can include supplying and setting the bollards, or installation only where you or your GC is supplying the product.

Bollard installation scenarios we handle

Common questions

How much does bollard installation cost?

Bollard installation pricing is determined by the size of the project and the specific installation requirements. Because bollard specifications, quantities, footing requirements, site conditions and project scopes can vary significantly, Cieslak Concrete Construction LLC prices bollard installation projects individually. Send drawings, specifications, bollard quantities, site information or a scope of work and we will price it accurately.

What do you need to quote a bollard project?

Project drawings, specifications or a scope of work, the bollard quantity and type, the required diameter, height and embedment, and site information such as surface type and access. With that we can price the footings, coring or excavation, removal and disposal, concrete fill and installation accurately. Labor-only scopes for general contractors supplying their own bollards are quoted the same way.

Do you install crash-rated bollards?

Bollard scopes are priced and built to the specification provided. Crash-rated and security-rated bollards carry different footing, embedment and concrete requirements than standard protective posts, so the specification has to come with the project drawings. Send the spec with your scope and we will price the installation to it.

Can you install bollards in an existing parking lot or sidewalk?

Yes. Retrofit installations are common — we core or saw-cut the existing pavement, excavate for the footing, set and plumb the post, place the concrete and finish the surface back around the base. The existing surface condition and what is buried underneath affect the scope, which is one reason bollard work is priced per project.

Do you supply the bollards or just install them?

Either. Scopes can include supplying and installing the bollards, or installation only where the owner or general contractor is supplying the product. Labor-only scopes are quoted the same way — from the drawings, specifications and quantities you send.
