Before we dig in Egham
The highway authority for local roads in Egham is Surrey County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Concrete bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Runnymede) first — we flag this at survey.
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. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- On public highway or council land, agree positions and specification with the highway authority or landowner.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
Installation, step by step
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.
Specification choices
| 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. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |

Looking after them
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. Concrete bollards need very little: occasional washing, removal of graffiti with suitable cleaners, and checks for chips, cracks and lean.
If posts in Egham are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.
How are concrete bollards fixed down?
Usually with a steel dowel at the base grouted into a small concrete foundation, so they cannot be pushed or rocked. Some designs have a root buried in the ground instead. Free-standing placement is used only for temporary layouts.
