What we check first in Greenock
For anything on the public footway in Greenock we check with the roads authority first — Inverclyde Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
Many private-land installations in Greenock 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 Inverclyde 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. External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
Installation, step by step
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| 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. |
Pricing warehouse impact bollards in Greenock
Our Scotland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Greenock firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
Keeping them working
Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.

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.
