In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Shildon around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Shildon
New columns in Shildon need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Shildon 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.
Shildon is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts DL4, DL14 and DL5. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
