Permissions and groundwork in Farnborough
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Farnborough's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Rushmoor) first — we flag this at survey.
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. 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.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| 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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Farnborough, these make the biggest difference:
- 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
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Farnborough.
