Typical concrete bollards jobs in Bedworth
Typical reasons Bedworth sites choose concrete bollards:
- Edges of open land and verges subject to unauthorised vehicle access
- Town centre squares and pedestrianised streets
- Retail parks and landscaped car parks
Consents, ground and services in Bedworth
In Bedworth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Bedworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) 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. 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.
- 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.
From survey to handover
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.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
