Car park lighting in Gateshead
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Gateshead around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Gateshead
Footpaths from Gateshead car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Gateshead retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to Gateshead from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Byker, so we can often combine survey visits.
