Permissions and groundwork in Armagh
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 Armagh 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 Armagh the planning team at Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. Where a slab is too thin or poor, the options include through-bolting, a larger base plate to spread load, a polymer bollard that reduces anchor forces, or breaking out and casting a new local foundation.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
How the job runs
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.
Plan around operations
Work is phased by aisle or zone, or done out of hours, with each area barriered off while drilling. Dust is controlled with extraction where products are stored nearby.
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 |
|---|---|
| Steel bollards | Yellow-coated steel tube on a base plate, often concrete-filled. Robust and economical, but they pass impact loads straight into the slab. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
What affects the quote
Two Armagh jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Number of positions and types of guard
Looking after them
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. 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 Armagh.

What size bollard do we need for forklifts?
That depends on the forklift's weight with load and how fast it travels near the asset, not just the post diameter. Tested products state their impact performance, which can be compared with your fleet. We size from your vehicles at the survey.
What is PAS 13?
PAS 13 is a code of practice for safety barriers used in workplaces, including a method for impact testing them. Products tested to it state how much impact they can take. It helps compare products on performance rather than appearance.
