Consents, ground and services in Dungannon
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so bollards on a public footway or road in Dungannon need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
If your site in Dungannon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Mid Ulster District Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
How the job runs
Agree the visit or contract
We price a one-off visit or a contract in writing, with the visit frequency suggested for your usage. Nothing is booked until you have agreed it.
Plan around the entrance
Visits are planned to keep the entrance usable, usually servicing one lane or bollard at a time, with cones and staff on hand while a bollard is out of service.
Report and recommend
You receive a written report of what was checked and found. Any repair needed is quoted separately in writing for your approval.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |

- Visit frequency and contract length
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Access control equipment to be tested
Keeping them working
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open.
If posts in Dungannon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
