Car park lighting in Canary Wharf
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Canary Wharf 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.
Local car park lighting in Canary Wharf
New columns in Canary Wharf need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
We programme car park works in Canary Wharf around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Canary Wharf premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
