Consents, ground and services in Ossett
In Ossett, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wakefield Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Ossett is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wakefield Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- 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.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Hydraulic repairs | Seals, hoses, valves, pumps and power packs, with fluid topped up or replaced and leaks cleaned up properly. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
