muddycoffee   10 #6 Posted August 7, 2018 Installation of a few bollards is considered a major engineering project in this country. Expect serious disruption.  You like to find this work hilarious, however if you consider the attacks on public places in the last few years. I would say that it is likely that the bollards being installed are being anchored very solidly into the ground to prevent Vans and trucks from ploughing into crowds of people or the front of the station.  I've seen Heavy Duty bollards in front of large stations in London this year. No doubt such Bollards would have prevented deaths in events such as the London Bridge and Paris Attacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

steroc   10 #10 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Installation of a few bollards is considered a major engineering project in this country. Expect serious disruption.  These type of bollards are designed to stop a heavy vehicle travelling at high speed and are being fitted at at high risk locations all over the country. They have quite a substantial heavily reinforced concrete base below them so do require a bit of work. They are also currently being fitted around possible entry points to the Sheffield University Concourse.  Bollards, yes, at the north end of the station to cordon off a section for rail staff parking. Asked the workers this morning. Major foundations just for that, though!  Nothing to do with cordoning off for staff parking, you've been misinformed.
