Permissions and groundwork in Tamworth
In Tamworth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Staffordshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Tamworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Tamworth) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
What happens on site
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
| 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 size bollard do we need for forklifts?
That depends on the forklift's weight with load and how fast it travels near the asset, not just the post diameter. Tested products state their impact performance, which can be compared with your fleet. We size from your vehicles at the survey.
