Car park lighting in Lerwick
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Lerwick and the Highlands and Islands. We programme car park works in Lerwick around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Lerwick
New columns in Lerwick need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Lerwick retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
For Lerwick premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Lerwick by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
