Rules for shallow-mount 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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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
Map what is underground
Utility records, radar scanning and trial holes establish exactly how much depth is available along the line. This is the survey that decides whether a shallow system will fit at all.
Confirm the system with the manufacturer
The survey findings go back to the manufacturer and the client's adviser to confirm the system, its layout and any end details. A fixed written quote follows the free site survey.
Assemble and level the frame
Frame sections are placed, joined and set to line and level, with posts fixed as the drawing shows. Joints and fixings are photographed before any concrete goes in.
Pour, cure and reinstate
Concrete is placed to the specified grade and finish depth, then the surface is rebuilt to match. The line is protected until the specified curing period has passed.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Angus?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Angus Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Will future roadworks damage the system?
They can if contractors dig beside it without knowing it is there. That is why we provide as-built drawings showing the frame position. Ask anyone excavating nearby to check those drawings first.
How much shallower is a shallow-mount bollard foundation?
Often a fraction of the depth of a conventional rated foundation, commonly a few hundred millimetres. The exact depth depends on the system and rating chosen. What you gain in depth is usually traded for width, because the load is spread along a linked frame.
