Engineered for high performance, ease of installation, and structural integrity. Ideal for urban schemes in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick.
In the modern era of urban regeneration and commercial development, Irish cities are moving towards more active transport and pedestrian-focused designs. The implementation of projects under the National Development Plan (NDP) / Project Ireland 2040 has increased the demand for smart, high-durability street furniture and perimeter protection barriers.
From the bustling pedestrianized areas of Dublin's Grafton and Capel Streets to the expanded industrial zones near Cork Harbour and Shannon, selecting the right physical security layout is critical. It must protect people and buildings while blending into historical and modern contexts.
Operating in Ireland means designing for harsh weather. Damp climates and proximity to the North Atlantic demand high standards of corrosion resistance, such as hot-dip galvanizing to BS EN ISO 1461 and marine-grade 316 stainless steel. Understanding structural loads, installation requirements, and planning guidelines (including building control standards and Disability Access Certificate considerations) is essential for architectural and civil engineering teams.
All products are engineered to comply with European safety codes and survive harsh maritime conditions.
Designed for C4/C5 marine environments with BS EN ISO 1461 hot-dip galvanization and electropolished 316 stainless steel to prevent rust in damp coastal climates.
Engineered using thicker wall segments (up to 6mm) and deep embedment techniques to absorb kinetic energy from vehicles, protecting public walkways.
Includes options that match visual contrast guidelines in Irish Building Regulations Part M, featuring clear icons and high-visibility reflective bands.
Providing high-quality security, mobility, and safety solutions for the built environment.
Fixed, fold-down, telescopic, removable, automatic, and lighting designs.
Durable bicycle parking setups for commercial and residential developments.
Safety barriers and protective guardrails for warehouses and factories.
Heavy-duty, functional designs for urban and park environments.
Manual, solar, and IoT smart locks for modern parking management.
Leveraging smart factories to supply critical infrastructure projects in Ireland with efficiency and speed.
With over 18 years of manufacturing experience, KAVASS operates two state-of-the-art production bases in Deqing and Zhuji. This enables us to maintain a stable supply chain and deliver high-quality products directly to our clients.
Our facilities use advanced robotic welding, laser tube cutting, and custom powder-coating lines. We source our steel from top mills with full material traceability, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
Shipping directly from our factories to major Irish entry points, like Dublin Port and the Port of Cork, helps bypass middleman markups. This allows us to offer competitive pricing on bulk commercial projects while maintaining reliable delivery times.

Integrating physical security with IoT, green technology, and modern urban design schemes across the EU.
As municipalities transition to low-carbon systems, perimeter security is adapting to support these changes. KAVASS is developing new products to meet these trends:
Modern urban planning balances accessibility with security. Standard bollards can create physical and visual barriers. The future lies in multi-functional designs: protective barriers that double as public seating, bike racks, and solar lighting.
KAVASS collaborates with engineering and design teams across Europe to supply products that fit local styles and meet strict safety standards. By using modern steel-forming techniques, we can deliver durable products that fit seamlessly into historical town centers and new commercial developments.
Answering common questions from engineers, project managers, and councils about bollard installations in Ireland.
Building Regulations Part M (Access and Use) requires that permanent fixtures on public paths are visible to those with visual impairments. We supply bollards with a minimum height of 1000mm, featuring high-contrast reflective bands and optional wheelchair symbols, ensuring public paths remain safe and accessible.
For coastal installations exposed to marine salt and high humidity, we recommend marine-grade 316 Stainless Steel with a polished or brushed finish. Alternatively, our carbon steel bollards can be hot-dip galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 and finished with outdoor-rated powder coatings for long-term corrosion resistance.
Standard production times range from 15 to 25 days depending on the customization required. Sea freight from Ningbo or Shanghai to Dublin Port or the Port of Cork typically takes 35 to 45 days. We also offer air freight and express shipping for urgent project phases.
Yes, we provide full OEM and ODM customization. Using laser-cutting and automated welding, we can add municipal crests, company logos, and custom dimensions to suit specific project designs.
Surface-mounted bollards are bolted directly into concrete surfaces, making them quicker to install and ideal for low-risk traffic control. In-ground bollards are embedded into deep concrete foundations, offering higher impact resistance for critical security applications.
