What we check first in Erskine
Erskine falls under Renfrewshire Council as roads authority. If the line of posts crosses onto adopted road or pavement, permission comes before excavation; on private land it does not.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Renfrewshire Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
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. 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.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
What happens on site
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| 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
Two Erskine jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Number of positions and types of guard
Looking after them
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
If posts in Erskine are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
