Rules for bollard access control systems 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
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.
Plan positions
Readers, cameras and intercoms are placed so drivers stop well before the bollard, with queueing space off the public road where possible.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Stirling?

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.
How do visitors and delivery drivers get through?
Usually by intercom to reception or a phone, by a temporary code, or by a timed delivery window. Some systems issue time-limited access to a visitor's number plate. The choice depends on how many visitors arrive and who is there to manage them.
