What we check first in Bordon
The highway authority for local roads in Bordon is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Crash-rated bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Bordon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for East Hampshire) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Made ground, a high water table or soft clay may need an engineer to confirm the tested design suits the site; any change to depth, width or reinforcement must be agreed in writing by the manufacturer, or the rating may no longer apply. Utility records, radar scanning and hand-dug trial holes come before any machine work, and service diversions can take longer than the bollard installation itself.
- Balance the gaps: narrow enough to stop a vehicle, typically no more than about 1,200 mm, but wide enough for wheelchair users and buggies — check against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Agree how emergency vehicles will get through, and refer to guidance on selecting and installing vehicle security barriers such as PAS 69 or ISO 22343-2.
What happens on site
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Static rated bollards | Fixed posts for permanent lines where vehicles never need to pass. They are a straightforward rated option to install and maintain. |
| Decorative covers | Stainless steel, cast or polymer sleeves can be fitted over the steel core to suit a streetscape. Use covers supplied or approved by the manufacturer so the tested product is not altered. |
| Heights and diameters | Exposed heights are commonly around 800 to 1,000 mm, with core diameters varying by model and rating. Larger diameters are not always needed to achieve a given rating. |
What moves the price in Bordon
When we price crash-rated bollards in Bordon, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
- The rating required and the product range that achieves it
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
Keeping them working
Look for cracked surfacing at the base, movement, damaged covers and faded bands. A rated bollard that has stopped a vehicle has done its job and should be assessed with the manufacturer; in most cases the post, and sometimes the foundation insert, is replaced rather than straightened.
If posts in Bordon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What's a typical price for crash-rated bollards in Bordon?

When can we rely on the new bollards?
Only once the concrete has reached the strength set in the specification. The posts are physically in place as soon as the pour is finished, but the rated performance depends on the foundation, and full design strength is commonly taken at around 28 days. Your adviser may arrange temporary measures to cover the gap.
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.
