Consents, ground and services in Tullibody
For anything on the public footway in Tullibody we check with the roads authority first — Clackmannanshire Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
If your site in Tullibody is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Clackmannanshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Access for the lifting vehicle matters: soft grass, paving and kerbs can be damaged by an outrigger, so ground protection mats are often laid before lifting begins. Services under footways are traced before excavation.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
Plan lifting
Each bollard's weight is checked, and a lifting method is chosen, such as a vacuum lifter or crane arm, with an exclusion zone set during lifts.
Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
What affects the quote
When we price concrete bollards in Tullibody, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of bollards
- Reinstatement of paving or turf
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
Keeping them working
In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling. Keep a note of the product name, finish and supplier, because matching a single damaged bollard years later is much easier when the original specification is known.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tullibody.

Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
