Permissions and groundwork in Brecon
Before digging near the kerb in Brecon we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Powys County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Brecon need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Powys County Council before posts go in.
Anchors need enough edge distance from slab joints and cracks or they will split the concrete on first impact. 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.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
Installation, step by step
Walk the site with the vehicles running
At the free site survey we watch traffic routes, note the vehicles and loads, and look for existing damage that shows where impacts happen. You receive a fixed written quote with each position and product listed.
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.
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. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
What affects the quote
Our Wales guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Brecon firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Removal of damaged existing protection
After installation
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 Brecon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
What is PAS 13?
PAS 13 is a code of practice for safety barriers used in workplaces, including a method for impact testing them. Products tested to it state how much impact they can take. It helps compare products on performance rather than appearance.
