What we check first in Tullibody
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Tullibody means Clackmannanshire Council. Ram-raid bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Tullibody is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Clackmannanshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the roads authority's agreement is needed.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
From survey to handover
Arrange consents
If the posts will stand on public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed before work starts. Landlord consent is usually needed for leased units.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| Crash-rated bollards | Tested to IWA 14-1, ISO 22343-1 or PAS 68 for high-value premises or where a vehicle could build up speed. |

- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Removable positions and their locks

After installation
Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight. Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them.
