With an estimated 60% of bollards in active service now exceeding 40 plus years of age, the risks associated with ageing mooring infrastructure have never been greater. BollardScan provides a trusted, fully independent certification record covering inspections, Safe Woking load (SWL) verification, and retest scheduling which is professionally documented, signed, and audit ready.
Our approach goes beyond standard inspection. By precisely identifying structural weaknesses and hidden defects, we help ports and operators take targeted, cost-effective action before issues escalate into failures or costly downtime.
BollardScan’s system has been rigorously scrutinised by Vienna Consulting Engineers and Lloyd’s and is backed by the BollardScan Insurance, provided it is used within correct operational parameters. This gives our clients not only clarity, but also confidence.
In an industry where safety, compliance, and operational continuity are critical, BollardScan delivers certainty. We don’t just assess infrastructure, we help safeguard it for the future.
