Before we dig in Coedpoeth
Before digging near the kerb in Coedpoeth we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Wrexham County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Coedpoeth need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Wrexham County Borough Council before posts go in.
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.
- 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.
- Check that the test certificate matches the exact model, configuration and foundation being installed, and keep it with the site records.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Rated removable or automatic posts | Where an entrance must open for deliveries or emergency vehicles, rated removable, retractable or automatic models are available. Check that the rating stated is for the exact model and position you are buying. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Two Coedpoeth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of natural stone, tactile paving or specialist surfaces
- Traffic management, restricted working hours or night work in occupied sites
- Buried services, diversions and ground investigation
Keeping them working
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. Movable rated bollards need a planned servicing schedule.
If posts in Coedpoeth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Crash-rated bollards in Coedpoeth: FAQs
Can you install crash-rated bollards anywhere in Coedpoeth?
We cover all of Coedpoeth (LL14) and the rest of Wrexham. We also work in Wrexham, Mold and Deeside.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Coedpoeth?
Local roads and pavements in Coedpoeth are the responsibility of Wrexham County Borough Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
How much do crash-rated bollards cost in Coedpoeth?
In Coedpoeth, typically £1,945–£9,695 per bollard, supplied and installed on a standard tested foundation, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £3,895 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
