Permissions and groundwork in Corby
North Northamptonshire Council is the highway authority covering Corby'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 Corby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Northamptonshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where. Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
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. |
| 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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
What affects the quote
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Corby, these make the biggest difference:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Number of positions and types of guard
After installation
Repaint or recoat steel posts when the yellow is worn, because faded protection is easier to miss. Polymer bollards should return to their original shape; one that stays deformed or has split needs replacing.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Corby.

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.
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.
