Mooring Bollards
Kurt Foundry casts mooring bollards for port authorities and terminal operators, engineered to your required bollard pull rating and anchor-bolt pattern.
Rated Holding Power for Every Berth
A bollard that fails under load risks the vessel, the dock, and everyone on it. Kurt Foundry casts mooring bollards to your required bollard pull rating and anchor-bolt pattern, with load testing available where your port specification calls for it.
We work directly from your port engineering drawing, matching base plate dimensions to new or existing concrete foundations.
What We Customize for You
Every order is cast to your specification, not pulled off a shelf. Here’s what we tailor to your exact application.
Weight & Mass Control
Bollards are cast and certified to your target mass, supporting your foundation load calculations.
Height & Anchor Bolt Pattern
Bollard height and base plate hole spacing are cast to your port engineering drawing.
Foundation Mounting
Base plate thickness and bolt pattern are matched for a clean installation on new or existing concrete.
Weather & Salt-Resistant Finish
Coating options are available for long-term exposure to marine salt spray and UV on exposed quaysides.
Material Grades
See all grey and ductile iron casting options we pour for OEM parts.
Every mooring bollards order is cast in the material grade that fits your application and duty cycle.
| Standard / Grade | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM A536 65-45-12 (Ductile Iron) | ≥ 448 | ≥ 310 | ≥ 12 | Standard port bollards requiring high bollard pull ratings and impact resistance. |
| ASTM A27 Grade 70-36 (Carbon Steel) | ≥ 485 | ≥ 250 | ≥ 22 | Heavy-duty terminal bollards for large vessel berths and high-load applications. |

Where This Product Is Put to Work
Real-world applications our customers rely on.
Port & Terminal Operations
Bollards rated to your terminal’s bollard pull requirement for container, bulk, and tanker berths.
Marina & Small-Craft Docks
Lighter-duty bollards sized for marina and small-craft mooring applications.
New Construction & Retrofit
Base plate patterns matched to new concrete pours or existing dock foundations for retrofit projects.
How We Manufacture Your Custom Mooring Bollards
Bollards are cast, machined, and load-rated to hold vessels securely under real mooring loads.
1. Pattern & DFM Review
We design the pattern and gating around the bollard’s base flange and horn profile to ensure full-density castings under load.
2. Sand Molding
Furan resin sand molds hold the bollard’s exact profile through a high-volume iron pour.
3. Spectrometer-Verified Pour
Chemistry is verified before pouring to confirm the grade matches your load-rating requirement.
4. Shakeout & Fettling
Castings are removed from the mold and gates, risers, and flash are ground smooth.
5. CNC Drilling of the Bolt-Hole Pattern
Base flange bolt holes are CNC-drilled to your exact pattern for a precise deck-mounting fit.
6. Load-Rating Dimensional Verification
Base flange dimensions and horn geometry are checked against your drawing before the bollard is approved for shipment.
Quality Control for Mooring Bollards
Bollards carry real mooring loads — every casting is verified for soundness and dimensional accuracy before shipment.
- Dimensional Verification:Base flange bolt pattern and horn dimensions are checked against your drawing on every unit.
- Material Test Reports (MTRs):Full chemistry documentation ships with every order for your QA or classification-society file.
- Visual & NDE Inspection:Each bollard is visually inspected for casting defects, with NDE testing available for higher load ratings.
- Coating Inspection:Where a protective coating is specified, we verify coverage and thickness before packaging.
