Bollard removal and replacement?  4 Easy Stages

 1. Dig the right sized hole to match your bollard. Bed it with type 1 infill, and make sure that the top of the socket levels with the final ground level.

2. Using concrete mix, part-fill the hole around the socket into which you now you now place the bollard.  Lock it by twisting clockwise.

3. Add more concrete until 100mm below final ground level.  Using the key provided, unlock the bollard and take it from the socket whilst awaiting for the concrete to cure.

4. Complete the hole to final ground level, replace the bollard and lock it to the socket.

It's immovable - solidly concreted into the ground, a rugged steel core will give any potential ram-raider a nasty shock.

1. Once you've dug the correct-sized hole and bedded it with Type 1 infill on to your conpacted hardcore, you fit the steel tube.

2. Use concrete mix to fill the hole around the steel tube - make sure that the concrete penetrates the holes to enter the tube.

3. Take the three provided spring clips and space them equally around the top edge of the tube.

4. Slide the bollard over the tube.  To fit the locking screw, simply drill a hole through the tube, place the screw and tighten it.  Fit the supplied blanking cap and repeat these stages for the other screw port.

Bridges, parks or multi-storey car parks may have vulnerable below ground surfaces.  In this event the bollard is fixed with 95mm expanding bolts using a shallow concrete substrate.

1. Place your bollard in position.  If it's fitted with reflective banding, make sure it can be viewed in traffic flow - red on the left hand roadside, white on the right.

2. Use a masonry drill whilst the bollard's in position and mark the 4 bolts positions on the wearing surface; remove the bollard, drill your holes.

3. Position the bollard again, then through the base, place the expanding bolts into your drilled holes and tighten them.

For a bollard which can't be removed, the base is concreted below ground, with the moulded return and the base ensuring permanent fixing.

1. Bed your correct sized hole with Type 1 infill and make sure that your bollard plinth base is at final ground level.

2. For a bollard fitted with refelective banding, make sure it can be viewed in the traffic flow - red on the left hand roadside, white on the right.  Use concrete mix to part-fill the hole.

3. Add more concrete to 100mm below final ground level.  Once your concrete has cured, make good to final ground level.
