Rules for automatic bollards in Northern Ireland
Bollards on public footways and roads need DfI Roads consent under the Roads (NI) Order 1993; councils deal with planning. 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.
Train and hand over
Site staff are shown how to lower the bollard in an emergency and how to recognise faults. You receive keys, the commissioning record and the manufacturer's manuals.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Fermanagh and Omagh?
DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure) is the roads authority for public roads and footways throughout Northern Ireland; councils handle planning.
Can rising bollards be installed on a public road?
Only with DfI Roads' approval, and they will set requirements for signs, signals and operation. On private land the decision is yours, but the same safety principles apply.
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.
