Local car park lighting in Newburn
Many car parks around Newburn 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 Newburn need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Our teams travel to Newburn from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Blaydon-on-Tyne, Wylam and Blaydon, so we can often combine survey visits.
