Before we dig in Bedworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bedworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Bedworth need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth before posts go in.
Shallow does not mean simple. 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.
- Record the frame's position on as-built drawings so future excavation near the line can be planned safely.
- Check gaps work for wheelchair users and buggies while still stopping vehicles, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Covers and sleeves | Stainless, cast or powder-coated covers fitted over the cores to match surrounding street furniture, supplied or approved by the manufacturer. |
| Removable posts within a run | Some systems include removable or retractable positions for maintenance or emergency access. Check how these affect the rating. |
| Modular cassette sections | Pre-made sections joined on site, allowing short runs and changes of direction within the manufacturer's tested limits. |
What affects the quote
Two Bedworth jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Restricted working hours in busy streets or occupied sites
- Amount of hand digging needed around live services
- Length of run and the system needed to achieve the rating
Looking after them
If one post is struck, the frame may have transmitted load to its neighbours, so the whole run near the impact should be checked with the manufacturer rather than replacing a single post in isolation. Any later utility work beside the line should be supervised so the frame is not undermined.
If posts in Bedworth are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
