Permissions and groundwork in Worthing
The highway authority for local roads in Worthing is West Sussex County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Worthing 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 the council for Worthing before posts go in.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. Where a slab is too thin or poor, the options include through-bolting, a larger base plate to spread load, a polymer bollard that reduces anchor forces, or breaking out and casting a new local foundation.
- Use your workplace transport risk assessment to decide where protection is needed, in line with HSE guidance on workplace transport.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Fix, torque and mark
Bollards and guards are fixed and torqued, then any associated floor markings are applied so drivers can see protected zones.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Column and rack end guards | Wrap-around or corner protectors for columns and racking uprights where a single post will not fit. |
| Cast-in or base-plated | Base plates suit existing slabs. External yard posts can be cast into concrete foundations for heavier duty. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
What affects the quote
Two Worthing jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Floor marking and associated signage
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
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 Worthing are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
Can you install while the warehouse is operating?
Usually yes, by working zone by zone with each area barriered off, or by working nights or weekends. Drilling dust is controlled near stored goods. We agree the phasing with your site manager.
