Local car park lighting in Strathpeffer
Many car parks around Strathpeffer 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.
New columns in Strathpeffer need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to Strathpeffer from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Dingwall, Muir of Ord and Evanton, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Strathpeffer 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.
