Car park lighting in Portlethen
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Portlethen around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Portlethen
New columns in Portlethen need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Portlethen still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
Our teams travel to Portlethen from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Typical nearby jobs include Milltimber, Aberdeen and Stonehaven, so we can often combine survey visits.
