PAS 68 / IWA 14 hostile vehicle mitigation in Newbury
Crash-rated bollards installed to the test certificate's foundation spec. For public realm, government and event protection.
If a vehicle has hit your shopfront in Newbury, or you've had repeat misuse of a private car park, you're in the right place. We install fixed, removable and rising bollards across Newbury and the surrounding area, with a written quote before any work starts.
Bollard installation in Newbury usually means jobs across Berkshire (RG postcodes). Most of our Newbury work sits around the Parkway centre, the Kennet Centre and the A34 logistics corridor.
Forecourts and EV bays in Newbury take a beating from low-speed knocks. We install bollards rated to absorb that without snapping at the base, and we'll spec wrap-around buffers where a hard post would damage the vehicle.
Most Newbury jobs we get asked about start the same way: a vehicle has hit a shopfront, or a private car park is being misused. Static steel posts solve the first; removable bollards or rising ones solve the second. We'll quote both if it isn't obvious which is right.
On hospital, clinic and care-home sites in Newbury we install bollards around ambulance bays, pedestrian crossings and entrances. The brief is usually about keeping the route clear without making it harder for genuine traffic.
Surface reinstatement is part of the price, not an extra. Whether it's blacktop, concrete, block paving or resin, we leave the area looking like the bollard was always meant to be there.
Crash-rated bollards installed to the test certificate's foundation spec. For public realm, government and event protection.
Hydraulic or electromechanical, with control panel, loops, fobs, intercoms or ANPR. We handle civils, wiring and commissioning.
Steel and stainless posts root-fixed or core-drilled into concrete for permanent perimeter protection. The default for shopfronts and column protection.
Damaged post replacement, foundation repair, repaint, reflective banding and like-for-like reinstatement.
Cast-in ground socket with a drained sump, padlocked head, spare keys supplied. Right for forecourts and private parking that occasionally need access.
Drop-down post that sits flush in a sub-surface housing. Good where access patterns change daily and you don't want a bollard lying on the floor.
Foundation depth on a standard 168mm steel post in Newbury is typically 600–750mm into a freshly cored hole, set in a fast-curing structural mix. Crash-rated foundations are deeper and follow the test drawings exactly.
Stainless posts on shopfronts in Newbury get a brushed or mirror finish and are installed with concealed fixings — no visible flange plate at the base.
Yes, where access permits. Most retail and forecourt installs in Newbury can be done in a single day, but evening or early-morning slots are an option if shutting in trading hours isn't.
Use the quote form on this page with the Newbury site postcode and a short brief. We'll come back in writing with a quote and the recommended bollard spec.
Bollard, fixings, coring, structural set, surface reinstatement, traffic management if needed, and removal of waste. Quotes are itemised so it's clear what's covered.
The bollards carry the manufacturer warranty; the installation itself carries our workmanship guarantee. Both are written into the quote so it's clear before you sign.
Yes. PAS 68 / IWA 14 schemes have to be installed to the foundation depths in the test certificate, which usually means deeper cores and different fixings. We've installed plenty.
Usually yes. We can also install bollards you've already bought if they're a sensible spec for the site — we'll flag it before quoting if they aren't.
