Rules for bollard access control systems in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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
Understand the users
At the free site survey we ask who uses the entrance, how many, how often they change, and how visitors and deliveries arrive. That decides the entry method, and a fixed written quote follows.
Lay ducts and pedestals
Ducts are laid from the controller to each device, and pedestals or posts are set in concrete. Loops for exit and detection are cut and sealed.
Wire and connect
A qualified electrician installs power, and devices are connected to the bollard controller and to any network or building system.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.

Can new access control be added to our existing bollards?
Often, yes, if the bollard controller can accept the new devices. We check the existing controller and cabling first. Very old controllers sometimes need replacing at the same time.
