Rules for shallow-mount bollards in England
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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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
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.
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.

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.
Can shallow-mount bollards go on a car park deck?
Sometimes, if a structural engineer confirms the deck can take the impact loads and the waterproofing can be protected. Decks were not designed with vehicle attacks in mind, so this check comes before anything else. Some manufacturers offer details specifically for structures.
