Nottingham firm lights up North Lincolnshire with contract win
Nottingham-based civil and electrical engineering firm McCann has won a new contract to replace LED street lighting for North Lincolnshire.
McCann started work in October 2017 and is expecting to complete the project within 14 months – 10 months earlier than anticipated.
The works are centred on the town of Scunthorpe and the surrounding area and once completed, North Lincolnshire will benefit from the replacement and upgrade of 19,000 lanterns that include energy-saving LED technology.
Mike Simpson, group manager for transport asset management at North Lincolnshire Council, said: “At a time when other authorities are switching off street lights, we’re making the move to white-light LEDs because of their reduced energy consumption, saving us thousands of pounds a year and reducing our carbon footprint.
“We’re really pleased with the quick turnaround on this project by the McCann team, and we’re hoping to bring the next phase forward and replace an additional 4,000 lanterns across the area.”
McCann’s contracts manager Geoff Standley said: “As with any work we carry out, everything is conducted in a safe and efficient manner with the aim of providing a quality installation that requires minimal ongoing maintenance,”
“We have achieved this by the implementation of McCann’s accredited policies, procedures and training, supported by regular internal quality and safety audits. This ultimately guarantees the safe and high-quality delivery of the project for our client.”
