What we check first in Coedpoeth
Local roads and pavements in Coedpoeth are the responsibility of Wrexham County Borough Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
If your site in Coedpoeth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wrexham County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. 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.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
Installation, step by step
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
