How to Replace Worn UHMWPE Bollard Facing Pads

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to replace worn uhmwpe bollard facing pads. JSLT Marine produces engineering plastic components in UHMWPE, HDPE, PA, POM and PTFE — full-process fabrication from raw sheet to CNC-machined parts.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Schedule low-tide window. Replacement easier at low tide for waterline bollards.
2. Remove worn pad. Cut bolts if seized; chase threads in bollard.
3. Inspect bollard substrate. Check for corrosion under pad; treat before re-installing.
4. Install new pad. Counter-bored bolting; use new stainless hardware.
5. Document replacement. Log date, pad lot number and bollard ID for asset tracking.
