Consents, ground and services in Dungannon
Kerbside work in Dungannon is a DfI Roads question: the Department for Infrastructure is the roads authority for Northern Ireland, and its permission is needed for anything placed in the public road or footway.
If your site in Dungannon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Mid Ulster District Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What moves the price in Dungannon
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Dungannon, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of positions and types of guard
- 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. Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss.
For damaged or loose posts in Dungannon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Do I need consent for warehouse impact bollards on a public footway in Dungannon?
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so warehouse impact bollards on a public footway or road in Dungannon need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
What's a typical price for warehouse impact bollards in Dungannon?
In Dungannon, typically £175–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £435 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
How close to a column should a bollard sit?
Close enough that a vehicle cannot reach the column around it, but with enough gap that the bollard does not hit the column when struck. Polymer bollards need more clearance than steel because they deflect. The gap is set from the product data.
Should we choose steel or polymer warehouse bollards?
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.
