A tenant unit with a roller door taking knocks, a retail frontage with parking hard up against the glass, a customer car park that vehicles keep cutting across. Those three cover most of what Kaiapoi businesses ring us about. Group One New Zealand designs, manufactures and installs bollards, travelling up from our Islington base in Christchurch, and Sydney Chappell started the New Zealand company in 2026. Tell us what keeps getting hit and we will come out and set the positions on the ground.
What they get used for around town
Kaiapoi’s commercial base runs to industrial units of roughly 70 to 400 square metres, retail frontages and offices, and the bollard work follows that pattern:
- Impact protection on building corners, roller door jambs, switchboards and gas meters, where a delivery vehicle reversing in a tight yard is the everyday risk.
- Pedestrian separation between parking and the door people walk through, or along the edge of a path that runs beside a manoeuvring area.
- Car park control, holding corners that get cut, keeping loading zones and fire exits clear.
- Access control at an entranceway, where the gap has to open for a truck and close again afterwards.
The fixing type follows the frequency. A gap that opens twice a year suits a removable bollard, which lifts out of a socket set flush into the ground. A gap that opens daily suits a fold-down bollard, hinged at the base and locked upright the rest of the time. Everything else is fixed, either footed in the ground or bolted down to a slab.

Whose land the bollards are going on
Waimakariri District Council’s Murphy Park Redevelopment Stage 1 at 78 Raven Quay includes the installation of bollards around the carpark and pontoon area. That is the council doing on public land exactly what a business does on its own: deciding where vehicles stop and people start.
The line matters for your job. Waimakariri District Council states that it only becomes involved in fencing where a building consent or resource consent is required, or where the work adjoins Council land, and notes that a resource consent is likely for anything on a road boundary or an internal boundary. Inside your own boundary, on your own title, placement is generally yours to make. Touch the road boundary, the vehicle crossing or reserve land and the council is the first call, which is why we raise it at the site visit rather than after the concrete has gone off.
How the installation runs
We start with a measure-up on site. What is being protected, which direction the vehicle comes from, where each post lands, and how wide the gaps need to be for the vehicles you actually run.
Before anything is dug, services are located and the boundary is confirmed. Kaiapoi rebuilt substantially after the earthquakes, so a good number of sites have relatively recent services underneath them, and recent does not always mean where the plan says.
In-ground bollards then get a hole cored or dug past the base course into ground that will hold, the post set plumb, and concrete poured around and usually inside it. The depth follows the diameter and height of the bollard and what we find on the way down. Surface-mount bollards bolt to an existing slab through a base plate, which suits a floor that cannot be broken into.
The surface goes back last: asphalt patched, concrete made good, seal or pavers reinstated.

Buying bollards versus getting them installed
A bollard can be ordered and delivered without anyone looking at your site. What turns up is a coated steel post, and the questions that decide whether it does its job are all still open: where it stands relative to the traffic path, how much clearance to leave, whether the ground will hold a footing, how deep that footing goes, and how the surface is made good afterwards. Those get answered on site with a tape measure. Supply gets the product to your gate; installation is what puts it in the right place, properly fixed.
What the quote depends on
Bollards are priced per site, on quote, once we have walked it. What moves the number:
- Type, diameter, height and finish of bollard
- Fixed, removable or fold-down
- How many go in
- In-ground footing or surface-mount base plate
- The surface being worked: concrete, asphalt, pavers, gravel or kerb
- Access, and when the area can be handed over
- Reinstatement afterwards
Galvanised steel handles yards and service areas, powder coating goes where the bollard faces customers, and stainless steel suits an entrance where appearance matters.

Highly Recommend Group 1 Linemarking!
We recently hired Group 1 Linemarking for a few of our residential strata projects, and the results exceeded our expectations. The team was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced. The line marking was crisp, precise, and done exactly to spec. Communication throughout the process was smooth, and they were flexible with scheduling, which made things a lot easier on our end. If you need reliable, high-quality line marking services, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Group 1. Great job!
Working with Syd and his team is always a pleasure
The quality of work is always to a high standard. The Group One team is always professional, they apply a high standard for safety ensuring their SWMS is tailored for the job and their equipment is serviced and well maintained. I highly recommend Group One and if you use them you won’t be disappointed.
Group One New Zealand on the Kaiapoi run
Sydney Chappell founded Group One New Zealand in 2026. We are a small team, we design, manufacture and install our own work, and we guarantee all the work we do. Kaiapoi sits at the northern end of our regular run, which reaches Amberley at one end and Timaru at the other. Full specifications are on our page.
Book a site visit
The council worked through the same questions at Murphy Park that any business works through in its own yard: what the vehicles are there for, where they should be made to stop, and where people have to be able to walk without watching over their shoulder. The only real difference on your site is whose land the line falls on, and that gets settled before anything is cut.
Phone us on 027 424 0600 or email info@groupone.co.nz, 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday. Group One New Zealand, Unit 1, 37 Foremans Road, Islington, Christchurch 8042. NZBN 9429053752833.

Questions we get asked
How much does it cost to have bollards installed?
On quote, always. What the bollard costs is the easy part. Coring an existing slab, working around services, and making the surface good again are what actually shape the figure, and none of that can be judged from a phone call.
How far apart should bollards be?
Auckland Transport’s published guidance is the New Zealand reference worth working from: at least 1.8 metres of clearance between bollards and the kerb, and at least 1.2 metres between bollards across an entranceway so prams, wheelchairs and mobility scooters get through. Those are Auckland Transport’s figures, not a Waimakariri District Council rule. The vehicles using your site set the rest.
How deep do they go?
Past the base course, into ground that will carry the load. There is no single figure that fits every post, and the ground on a rebuilt site can differ from one end of a yard to the other.
Can bollards be removed easily?
If they were installed to be. Removable posts lift out of a flush socket; fold-down posts hinge and lock. A fixed in-ground bollard has to be cut and its footing dug out, so decide early how often that gap really needs to open.
