NeuxPark have completed a major project to retrofit the lighting in four international station car parks in the South of England with long life, energy efficient LED lamps and luminaires from the Goodlight range. 3,000 LED luminaires including 400 emergency kits were installed in multi-storey and open car parks across these sites, providing the car park owners with up to 80% energy savings.
NeuxPark are a specialist contractor providing bespoke products and niche projects in the commercial and industrial sectors, who also have a vast amount of experience within the Rail sector. NeuxPark were commissioned to replace the outdated fluorescent and metal halide luminaires in the car parks at St Pancras, Ebbsfleet, Stratford and Ashford, with a total capacity of up to 8,000 spaces. The 3,000 new luminaires reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint as well as providing brighter illumination for increased safety and security. The operators of the car parks sought longer lasting lights to reduce the frequency of replacement thus eliminating maintenance costs.
Commenting on the project, Richard Jenkins, Technical Director at NeuxPark said, “Knowing the client’s requirements withing the rail industry, the Goodlight LED luminaires and lamps were the ideal solutions to address the client’s stringent security and safety specifications. It was at the forefront of the clients specification to deliver the following end result – reduced carbon footprint, lower energy consumption, commercial cost reduction, safer working and public environments, zero maintenance cost, quality well-built products, increased lumen output and enhanced lux levels for this high risk environment. Together Goodlight and NeuxPark delivered an exceptional end result.”
“The installation procedure varied from each site dependent on the existing electrical infrastructure” explained Richard Jenkins. There was a variation of retrospective modifications and luminaire replacements across the 4 sites, all would require wiring and containment modifications and technical implications to be taken into consideration. “We have worked with Goodlight on many successful projects in the commercial sector and we are very familiar with their products which helped simplify the installation process.”
He continued, “At one of the sites, we were tasked with installing the LED replacements on 22 x 16-metre-high mast lighting columns which required bespoke bracketry to be designed and manufactured. High level access requirements and the use of a custom-built rise and lowering power tool were also required to carry out our installation process. This was a challenging project, but we delivered on time and all car parks are fully commissioned, tested and certified. Whilst the financial gains and environmental reasons for making the switch to energy efficient LED lighting are clear, as importantly, it is essential to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the users.''
