What we check first in Haverfordwest
Before digging near the kerb in Haverfordwest we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Pembrokeshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Haverfordwest is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Pembrokeshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- 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.
What happens on site
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |

Can a chipped concrete bollard be repaired?

Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
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.
