Before we dig in Blairgowrie
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Blairgowrie means Perth and Kinross Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Blairgowrie is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Perth and Kinross Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Drainage outlets are tested by running water into the pit; where they no longer drain, the cause may be a collapsed pipe or a soakaway that has silted up, which may need a separate drainage repair quoted in writing. 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.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
