What Bognor Regis sites use crash-rated bollards for

- Data centres, utilities and critical infrastructure perimeters
- Glazed frontages on corporate and public buildings
- Stadiums, arenas and event venues with predictable crowd flows
Before we dig in Bognor Regis
The highway authority for local roads in Bognor Regis is West Sussex 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 Bognor Regis is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Arun) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Reinstatement matches paving, tactile surfaces and kerbs.
- 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.
- Ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed, particularly in conservation areas or near listed buildings.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Deep or standard foundation designs | Deep foundations suit open ground where excavation is unrestricted. Where services or slabs get in the way, shallow-mount tested designs may be a better fit. |
| Static rated bollards | Fixed posts for permanent lines where vehicles never need to pass. They are a straightforward rated option to install and maintain. |
| Finishes and visibility bands | Galvanised and powder-coated finishes in RAL colours, with contrasting or reflective bands near the top so the posts are visible to pedestrians and drivers. |
What moves the price in Bognor Regis
When we price crash-rated bollards in Bognor Regis, these make the biggest difference:
- Covers, finishes and any integrated lighting
- The rating required and the product range that achieves it
- Traffic management, restricted working hours or night work in occupied sites
Looking after them
Keep inspection records with the original test certificate so the line's condition can be shown to insurers or a security adviser. Static rated bollards need little routine work, but they should be inspected periodically and always after any impact.
If posts in Bognor Regis are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for crash-rated bollards on a public footway in Bognor Regis?

How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Bognor Regis?
In Bognor Regis, typically £2,095–£10,595 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £4,245 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
What does a crash rating code actually tell me?
It tells you the vehicle used in the test, how fast it was travelling, the angle it hit at and how far it got past the bollard line. Your security adviser compares those figures with the vehicle and speed achievable on your approach. A rating that does not match the site's real risk is either more than you need or not enough.
Why can't the foundation be adjusted to suit our ground?
Because the rating belongs to the bollard and foundation as tested together. Making the hole shallower, narrower or lighter on steel changes how the system behaves on impact. If site conditions force a change, the manufacturer has to approve it in writing, and some changes mean choosing a different product such as a shallow-mount system.
