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.
Excavate and set cassettes
Each cassette pit is excavated to the manufacturer's depth, with the base prepared to drain. Cassettes are set to finished road level and fall, then concreted in.
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.
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.

Usually by an agreed method such as a fire service key switch, a code, a remote handset held by the site or a free-exit arrangement. It should be agreed with the emergency services before the bollards go live.
