Parking Structure Safety

Ideal Shield helped George Enterprises, owner of the Atwater Parking Garage in Detroit, MI protect the parking garage’s new swipe key card machines.

The existing bollards were 5 inches from the edge of the island curb. The customer wanted to protect his new machines from damage from car mirrors as they entered & exited the parking structure. Not to mention eliminating the yearly painting of over 30 bollards.

Ideal Shield used a steel insert to adapt the 4” pipe to fit a 10” bollard cover to extend the sleeve to the curb’s edge keeping vehicles clear of the card swipe, protecting it from damage.

While on-site we were also able to protect patrons from exiting the stairwell sidewalk and accidentally stepping off into traffic by utilizing Ideal Shield’s maintenance free Pipe & Plastic Handrail.

The customer also wanted to converting his yellow color scheme to red, all his new sleeves and handrails are red to match.
