Rules for shallow-mount bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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.
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.
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 Bridgend?
For local roads, Bridgend County Borough Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
What if a service turns out to be higher than the records show?
Work stops at that position and the finding goes back to the manufacturer and your adviser. Sometimes the frame can be adjusted within tested limits; sometimes the utility has to be lowered or the line moved. We do not improvise a change to a rated foundation on site.
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.
