Consents, ground and services in Long Eaton
In Long Eaton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Derbyshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Long Eaton 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 the council for Erewash before posts go in.
Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
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.
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.
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. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
