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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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.
Cut and excavate the trench
Paving is lifted and kept for reuse where possible, and a shallow trench is excavated by hand near known services. Where a service sits higher than expected, work stops and the detail is referred back.
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.
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 Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon?
DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure) is the roads authority for public roads and footways throughout Northern Ireland; councils handle planning.
Can I install a single shallow-mount bollard on its own?
Usually not. Most shallow systems rely on several posts working together, and the rating applies to a tested run with a stated minimum number of posts. A single position generally needs a different solution.
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.
