Car park lighting in Aberdeen
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Aberdeen sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Aberdeen
Footpaths from Aberdeen car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Aberdeen need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Aberdeen is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts AB11, AB25 and AB10. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
