Before we dig in Newry
Kerbside work in Newry 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.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Newry the planning team at Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is the one to ask 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. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- 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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
| 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. |

Can bollards be fixed to a thin warehouse floor?
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.
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.
