Rules for shallow-mount bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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 Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.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.
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 Perth and Kinross?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Perth and Kinross Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
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.
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.
