Rules for steel security bollards in Northern Ireland
Bollards on public footways and roads need DfI Roads consent under the Roads (NI) Order 1993; councils deal with planning. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
Survey and set out
A free site survey confirms positions, surfaces, buried services and whether root-fixing or base plates suit the ground. You receive a fixed written quote listing post size, finish and fixing.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height along the line, and concreted in. Base-plated posts are drilled, anchored with resin and torqued once cured.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Antrim and Newtownabbey?
DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure) is the roads authority for public roads and footways throughout Northern Ireland; councils handle planning.
Should I choose root-fixed or base-plated steel bollards?
Root-fixed where you can dig and want the stronger post; base-plated where there is a sound slab and you want quick installation or the option to remove posts later. Base plates are limited by the slab and anchors, so they are not the right choice where vehicles hit hard.
Will galvanised posts rust?
Hot-dip galvanising protects steel for a long time in normal outdoor conditions. Powder coat over the galvanising adds colour and extra protection. Touch up chips promptly in coastal or heavily salted locations.
