Permissions and groundwork in Strabane
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 Strabane need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
If your site in Strabane is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Derry City and Strabane District Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- 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.
What happens on site
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.
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. |
| 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. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
What moves the price in Strabane
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Strabane, these make the biggest difference:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
After installation
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
If posts in Strabane are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
