Permissions and groundwork in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames Council is the highway authority covering Richmond upon Thames's local roads. Red routes are managed by Transport for London. 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 Richmond upon Thames is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Richmond upon Thames 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. 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
How the job runs
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 |
|---|---|
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| 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. |
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |

Sometimes, using larger base plates, through-bolts or polymer bollards that reduce anchor loads. If the slab is too thin or damaged, a new local foundation may be needed. We check the slab before recommending a fixing.

Steel suits lighter traffic and sound, thick slabs where cost matters most. Polymer suits busy forklift areas where repeated impacts would destroy anchors and floors. Polymer often costs more to buy but less to keep in service.
