Before we dig in Worksop
In Worksop, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Nottinghamshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Bassetlaw) first — we flag this at survey.
Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
From survey to handover
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Test and report
After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
