Before we dig in Blackwood
Before digging near the kerb in Blackwood we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Caerphilly County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Blackwood is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Caerphilly County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
What happens on site
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heavier section | Larger diameter, thicker wall or concrete-filled steel where posts keep getting bent. |
| Matched finishes | RAL powder coat, stainless grade and finish, or heritage paint schemes matched to the existing line. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
