Rules for automatic bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
Survey and risk assessment
A free site survey covers traffic patterns, who uses the entrance, power, drainage routes and buried services. We draft the safety arrangement from that, and you receive a fixed written quote.
Ducts, drainage and loops
Ducts are laid between the bollards, the controller cabinet and access devices, with draw pits where runs change direction. The drain is connected and the safety and exit loops are cut into the surface and sealed.
Power and controls
A qualified electrician installs the supply and isolation, and the controller, traffic lights, photocells and access devices are mounted and wired.
Commission and test
Rise and fall times, loop detection, photocells, lights and the manual release are tested with vehicles present. Safety settings are recorded against the risk assessment.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Clackmannanshire?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Clackmannanshire Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Should I choose hydraulic or electro-mechanical bollards?
Choose by how often the bollard will move and how you want it maintained. Hydraulic units suit busy entrances and heavier rated posts but need fluid and seal checks. Electro-mechanical units avoid fluid and are often simpler to look after at moderate traffic levels.
What happens in a power cut?
That depends on how the system is configured. Traffic bollards are often set to lower or can be lowered with a manual release, so vehicles are not trapped. Security bollards may be set to stay raised, with a procedure for staff to follow.
