Before we dig in Gourock
Gourock falls under Inverclyde 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.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Inverclyde Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
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. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- 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.
From survey to handover
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| 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. |
What affects the quote
Our Scotland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Gourock firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Floor marking and associated signage
Keeping them working
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.
If posts in Gourock are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
