Before we dig in Gorseinon
In Gorseinon the highway authority for local roads is Swansea Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because warehouse impact bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Gorseinon 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 Swansea Council before posts go in.
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.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
- Where impact performance matters, ask for products tested to PAS 13 and match the stated performance to your vehicles.
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.
Finishes and options
| 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. |
| 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. |
What moves the price in Gorseinon
When we price warehouse impact bollards in Gorseinon, these make the biggest difference:
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Slab condition and the anchors or foundations it needs
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
After installation
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. On steel bollards look for bending, cracked welds, loose or sheared anchors and cracked concrete around the base plate.
For damaged or loose posts in Gorseinon, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
