Rules for crash-rated bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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.
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.
Fix reinforcement and set the posts
The reinforcement cage is built to the drawing and the bollards are held to line and level in templates. Concrete is poured to the specified grade, with samples taken for testing if the specification calls for them.
Hand over a build record
You receive photographs of the reinforcement and excavation before each pour, concrete delivery tickets, as-built positions and the manufacturer's product certification, ready for your adviser and insurers.
Crash-rated bollards in Dundee City: FAQs
Do you cover all of Dundee City for crash-rated bollards?
Yes — including Dundee. Enter your postcode in the price calculator to confirm.
How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Dundee City?
In Dundee City, typically £1,995–£9,995 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,995 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Dundee City?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Dundee City Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
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.
Will you design our HVM layout?
No. Scheme design and threat assessment belong with your security adviser, a specialist consultant or the manufacturer's technical team. We install the products they specify, to the tested foundation, and work alongside them on site so the build matches the design.
