Consents, ground and services in Bangor, Gwynedd
Before digging near the kerb in Bangor, Gwynedd we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Gwynedd Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Bangor, Gwynedd is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Gwynedd Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Root-fixed posts need firm ground and enough depth to carry the post's root plus a concrete surround. Base plates must sit on a slab thick and sound enough to hold resin anchors; cracked or thin concrete will let the anchors pull out on the first knock.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians, wheelchair users or buggies pass between posts.
- Avoid linking posts with chains across pedestrian routes, which can be a trip hazard for blind and partially sighted people.
What happens on site
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tube size and wall thickness | Common diameters include 76, 114, 140, 168 and 219 mm, with heavier walls for service yards and vehicle routes. |
| Concrete infill | Adds mass and stiffness and makes the post harder to cut or dent. Usually specified for security and impact positions. |
| Caps and heads | Dome, flat, chamfered or ball tops, with welded caps to keep water out of hollow posts. |
