What we check first in Dungannon
In Dungannon, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Dungannon the planning team at Mid Ulster District Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks. Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.
From survey to handover
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Make the entrance safe
On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
