How bollards protect gas meters and regulators
Gas meters sit on the building face, at bumper height, usually next to a parking space or a service drive. A reversing vehicle is the realistic risk, and unlike most impacts, this one has consequences beyond the repair bill.
Protect Gas Meters, Regulators & Risers
Security Bollard Direct supplies and installs gas meter protection bollards throughout the Greater Toronto Area, positioned to the clearances your utility requires.
Strong protection where it matters most
Our commercial bollards can be installed around:
- Gas meters and meter banks
- Regulators and relief vents
- Risers and service entries at the building face
- Shut-off valves and their access
- Adjacent electrical and mechanical equipment
Why gas units need bollards
Even a low-speed vehicle impact can cause significant damage. A professionally planned installation can help:
- A vehicle is stopped before it reaches the meter set
- An evacuation, a utility call-out and a possible fine are avoided
- The meter stays accessible for reading and servicing
- Drivers see a boundary where previously there was only a wall
Gas Meter Protection Bollards
Gas meters sit on the building face at bumper height, usually next to a parking space or a service drive. A reversing vehicle is the realistic risk, and unlike most impacts this one has consequences well beyond the repair bill.
A short run of bollards on the vehicle side of the meter set gives the driver something solid to meet first, while leaving the meter accessible for reading, servicing and emergency shut-off.

Product capability
Clearances are set by the utility, not by us
Gas utilities publish minimum distances around meter sets, and those govern where a bollard can go. Send a photo with the meter and the parking layout in frame; we will position to the clearance rather than to whatever fits.
Commercial supply & installation
Security Bollard Direct provides supply and professional installation for commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties throughout the GTA. Gas utilities publish minimum clearances around meter sets, and those govern where a bollard can be placed, and we position to the clearance rather than to whatever fits.
