THE RESULTS
With our support, Lincolnshire County Council has transformed the way street lighting is provided in the County, saving over £1.7m per year, reducing their carbon footprint by over 6,000 tonnes of C02, reducing light pollution and reducing the cost of ongoing maintenance requirements.
Working cohesively with LCC, Kier and other delivery partners, the majority of the project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget, despite an increase of nearly 20% mid-programme in the total number of Part Night Photocells fitted. Many of the changes and installations on major traffic routes were carried out during off-peak hours and/or in coordination with other highways projects, to reduce the use of additional Traffic Management further reducing costs and minimising disruption to road users.
The role which Marwood played as the Distributor for the suppliers was pivotal in ensuring that the tight installation programme was met. Marwood's close links and co-ordination with the three main manufacturers involved in supplying lanterns and photocells resulted in equipment delivery targets being met and enabled the project to proceed according to the programme.
