Before we dig in Bangor, Ards and North Down
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so warehouse impact bollards on a public footway or road in Bangor, Ards and North Down need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Bangor, Ards and North Down the planning team at Ards and North Down Borough Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
Warehouse floors vary from thick reinforced slabs to thin toppings over older concrete, and some contain underfloor heating, ducting or wire-guidance systems for automated trucks that must not be cut. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
From survey to handover
Walk the site with the vehicles running
At the free site survey we watch traffic routes, note the vehicles and loads, and look for existing damage that shows where impacts happen. You receive a fixed written quote with each position and product listed.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled, cleaned and anchors installed to the maker's instructions. Chemical anchors are left to cure before the bollard is loaded.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Bangor, Ards and North Down
Our Northern Ireland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bangor, Ards and North Down firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
After installation
Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing. Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bangor, Ards and North Down.
