Car parks and loading docks
Bollard installation in Melbourne.
In-ground, surface-mounted and removable bollards for car parks, loading docks, shopfronts and warehouse racking. We locate underground services before drilling and keep the rest of the car park open while we work.

Types and places
Car park bollards and safety bollards, fixed where they're needed.
The right bollard depends on what it has to stop and what it's fixed into. We look at both at the site visit, then book installers whose insurance and safety paperwork we've checked.
Car park bollards
Parking bollard installation at bay ends, walkways and entries, so cars stay out of pedestrian areas.
Loading docks
Bollards that keep trucks and forklifts off dock doors, roller doors and the dock edge.
Shopfronts and entries
Safety bollards in front of glass shopfronts and doorways where cars park nose-in.
Racking and doorways
Protection for racking ends, columns and internal doorways in warehouses with forklift traffic.
Removable bollards
Bollards that lift out or fold down with a key, for lanes that open for deliveries.

About bollard installation
Questions about installing bollards.
What facility and warehouse managers ask before booking bollard work.
Ask us a questionWhat types of bollards do you install?
Emera installs in-ground bollards set into concrete, surface-mounted bollards bolted to an existing slab, and removable bollards that lift out or fold down with a key.
They go in car parks, at loading docks, in front of shopfronts and doorways, and at the ends of racking. We also cut out bent or loose bollards and fix new ones in their place.
Do you supply the bollards or only install them?
Both. Emera can supply and install bollards, or install bollards you've already bought.
If we supply them, we show you the options and prices at the site visit, matched to what each bollard has to protect.
What does bollard installation involve?
Bollard installation starts with marking out where each bollard goes with you, and locating underground cables and pipes before any drilling or digging. Then Emera core drills or digs the footing, fixes the bollard and cleans up.
Surface-mounted bollards are ready once they're bolted down. In-ground bollards sit in concrete that needs time to set, so we fence them off until it has. You get photos and a sign-off in our app.
Can you install bollards without closing our car park?
Yes. Emera closes off only the bays and lanes we're working in, and the rest of the car park stays open.
For busy car parks and loading docks, we can do the work at night or on a weekend. Bollards in new footings stay fenced until the concrete has set.
Are your tradespeople licensed and insured?
Yes. Each tradesperson Emera sends holds the licence or registration their trade needs in Victoria, and carries public liability insurance and WorkCover.
Our app holds every licence and certificate of currency, and warns us 30 days before one expires. Ask, and we'll send you copies before the job starts. See the checks behind everyone we send.
How do you price trade and maintenance jobs?
Emera prices each trade or maintenance job on what it involves, including labour, materials, access and the time of day the work is done. Small jobs can be priced from your photos, and bigger ones start with a site visit.
You get the scope and price in writing before any work starts. If we find more once we're on site, we stop and agree the extra with you before going on.
