Car park lighting in Irlam
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Irlam around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.

Local car park lighting in Irlam
Footpaths from Irlam car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Irlam need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
