Before we dig in Haverfordwest
In Haverfordwest the highway authority for local roads is Pembrokeshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because shallow-mount bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Haverfordwest is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Pembrokeshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
On decks and roofs, the waterproofing and drainage layers must be protected or rebuilt, and fixings must not puncture membranes unless the structural and waterproofing designers have agreed a detail. The trench has to sit over services with enough cover to protect them, but the frame also needs a firm, consistent bearing; soft spots, old backfill around pipe trenches and voids under paving can all need treating first.
- Get written confirmation from a structural engineer before installing on slabs, decks, basements or over voids.
- Record the frame's position on as-built drawings so future excavation near the line can be planned safely.
From survey to handover
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Modular cassette sections | Pre-made sections joined on site, allowing short runs and changes of direction within the manufacturer's tested limits. |
| Covers and sleeves | Stainless, cast or powder-coated covers fitted over the cores to match surrounding street furniture, supplied or approved by the manufacturer. |
| Rated planters and street furniture | Benches, planters and cycle stands built around a tested shallow core, used where a line of posts would look out of place. |
What moves the price in Haverfordwest
Two Haverfordwest jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Changes of direction, end details and removable positions
- Restricted working hours in busy streets or occupied sites
- Structural engineering checks on slabs or decks
Looking after them
Any later utility work beside the line should be supervised so the frame is not undermined. Pay attention to the surface around the posts, because settlement or loose paving can indicate movement in the bearing layer.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Haverfordwest.

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.
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.
