Where warehouse impact bollards go in around Colne

Before we dig in Colne
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority covering Colne's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Colne is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Pendle) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- 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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
What affects the quote
Two Colne jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Removal of damaged existing protection
Keeping them working
On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
For damaged or loose posts in Colne, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
