The HM-MB Series is a cost-effective solution engineered for inland
waterways, marinas, small fishing harbors, and areas with lower
load requirements. Fabricated from high-quality steel plate and
pipe, it provides excellent value without compromising on core
safety or corrosion protection. It is ideal for new projects with
budget constraints or for refurbishing older, low-traffic docks.
Case Study: Mandalay River Port, Myanmar
A development project aimed to upgrade a river port handling
medium-sized cargo barges and passenger boats. The project required
80 bollards but had a tight budget. The HRT-ECON Single Bollards
(SWL 50t) provided the perfect solution. They were installed
quickly using simple templates and have successfully secured
vessels for over three years with only routine visual inspections
required.

Product Features
Robust Fabricated Design
Constructed from ASTM A36 steel plate and structural pipe. All main
seams are full-penetration welded and 100% ultrasonically tested
(UT) to ensure structural integrity.
Value Engineered Protection
Features a high-quality 2-stage coating: abrasive blasting to Sa
2.5 and a high-build epoxy coating (250µm DFT). This offers
excellent corrosion resistance for freshwater and mild marine
environments at a lower cost than hot-dip galvanizing.
Simplified Installation Design
A straightforward base plate design with standard bolt patterns
makes installation quick and easy, reducing labor costs for our
clients.
Lightweight yet Strong
The fabrication process results in a lighter product compared to
casting or forging, making transportation and handling easier and
more economical.
Applications
Inland Waterways and Rivers
Used to secure barges and push-tows along riverbanks and canals.
The single-post design is simple and effective for the primarily
lateral loads encountered.
Operational Flow
Mooring lines are typically made fast with a simple turn around the
bollard. Crews should be trained to avoid building up too many
layers of rope, which can jam.
Note
In sandy or silty river environments, the bollard should be rinsed
with fresh water periodically to prevent abrasive buildup.
Marinas and Yacht Clubs: Perfect for securing pleasure craft and
small commercial workboats. The smooth design prevents damage to
expensive yacht hulls.
Fishing Harbors
Provides reliable mooring for small to medium-sized fishing
vessels. The robust construction can withstand the harsh
environment of fish processing waste and constant wet/dry cycles.

FAQ
1. Q: Is the HM-MB268 suitable for saltwater use?
A: The epoxy coating provides good protection, but for harsh,
splash-zone saltwater environments, we highly recommend upgrading
to the hot-dip galvanized option for maximum longevity.
2. Q: Can you customize the height or diameter?
A: Yes, as a fabricated product, customization is straightforward.
We can alter dimensions to meet your specific SWL and spatial
requirements.
3. Q: What is the lead time for an order of 50 units?
A: Typically 4-5 weeks for a standard configuration, depending on
current production schedule.
4. Q: Do you provide calculations for the foundation?
A: Yes, we provide general load data (SWL and Ultimate Load) for
civil engineers to design the foundation. For complex soil
conditions, a site-specific geotechnical report is recommended.
