Where bollard access control systems go in around Banstead
Common uses in a place like Banstead:

Before we dig in Banstead
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Banstead's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Banstead is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Reigate and Banstead) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where existing bollards are being upgraded, old cables and ducts are tested before being reused. Access control adds duct runs, pedestals and loops to a bollard installation, and each means cutting into the surface.
- Have power and data installations certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- Agree emergency access with the fire and ambulance services and test the override.
How the job runs
Plan positions
Readers, cameras and intercoms are placed so drivers stop well before the bollard, with queueing space off the public road where possible.
Wire and connect
A qualified electrician installs power, and devices are connected to the bollard controller and to any network or building system.
Programme and test
Users, plates, codes and schedules are entered, and every entry and exit route is tested with vehicles, including what happens when access is refused.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| ANPR cameras | Read number plates and compare them with an approved list. Suited to large user groups and hands-free entry; needs careful camera placement and lighting. |
| Remote handsets and app control | Handsets for small user groups; app control for sites that want to add and remove users from a phone. |
| Integration | Links to existing building access control, fire alarm interfaces and emergency overrides. |

They should be able to, through an override agreed with them, such as a key switch, a code or a link to the fire alarm. We test the arrangement before handover. It should be reviewed if the site changes.
