Bollards and door protection in Cwmbran

The short version

Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Cwmbran site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Town: Cwmbran
Postcode district: NP44
Area: Gwent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.

What this work can involve

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cwmbran?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Cwmbran vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Bollards and door protection in Cwmbran: your questions

Can you protect our existing doors in Cwmbran?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Cwmbran?

Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.

Can bollards at our Cwmbran site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
