Rules for shallow-mount bollards in Northern Ireland
Bollards on public footways and roads need DfI Roads consent under the Roads (NI) Order 1993; councils deal with planning. 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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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.
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.
Record and hand over
As-built drawings show the frame position relative to services, which matters for anyone digging nearby later. Product certificates and photographs go to the client's adviser.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Antrim and Newtownabbey?
DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure) is the roads authority for public roads and footways throughout Northern Ireland; councils handle planning.
Does a shallow system protect as well as a deep one?
It can achieve the same rating, because both are tested to the same standards. What differs is how the load is resisted. Your security adviser should compare the specific ratings, not the foundation depths.
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.
