Rules for crash-rated bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.

How installation works
Start from the specification
We work from the specification issued by your security adviser or the manufacturer: product, rating, positions and foundation drawing. If no specification exists yet, we can put you in touch with the manufacturer's technical team, but we do not set the threat level ourselves.
Free site survey and ground checks
A free site survey looks at access, surfaces and likely services, followed by utility searches, radar scanning and trial holes where needed. You then receive a fixed written quote based on what the survey found.
Set out and excavate
Positions are set out to the drawing and excavated to the tested depth and width, with shoring where the ground needs it. Spoil is removed as work progresses.
Cure, protect and reinstate
The posts are protected while the concrete gains strength, and the surface is reinstated to match. The line should not be treated as fully effective until the specified curing period has passed.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Cheshire?
For local roads, Cheshire East Council, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Halton Borough Council and Warrington Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
What happens if a rated bollard is struck?
Make the area safe and have the post assessed before relying on it again. A rated bollard that has absorbed a serious impact is usually replaced, and the manufacturer may need to check the foundation or insert. We can install the replacement to the original tested detail.
Is a heavy unrated steel post good enough instead?
Not where the risk is a deliberate vehicle attack. An unrated post may look solid, but nobody can say what it will stop because it has never been tested with its foundation. Unrated steel suits nuisance parking and low-speed knocks, not crowds or buildings flagged in a security assessment.
