Before we dig in Tullibody
Tullibody falls under Clackmannanshire Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
Many private-land installations in Tullibody 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 Clackmannanshire Council before posts go in.
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. 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
How the job runs
Check the slab
Slab thickness, joints, cracks and any underfloor services or heating are checked, and anchors are chosen for the floor rather than taken from a standard list.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Tullibody
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Tullibody, these make the biggest difference:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
Looking after them
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
For damaged or loose posts in Tullibody, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Can you install while the warehouse is operating?
Usually yes, by working zone by zone with each area barriered off, or by working nights or weekends. Drilling dust is controlled near stored goods. We agree the phasing with your site manager.
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.
