From design and engineering through to manufacturing and supply, our lighting columns now service:
โ
Station platforms
โ
Station entrances
โ
Park & Ride facilities
โ
Internal roads
โ
Pedestrian precincts
Beyond conventional lighting, the project included a number of specialist multi-function columns supporting CCTV, public address speakers, emergency equipment, signage and other station infrastructure.
To deliver the best outcome, the project combined New Zealand-manufactured lighting columns with specialist products supplied through our long-standing partnership with Valmont, ensuring the right solution for every application.
Seeing projects like these move from design drawings to fully operational public infrastructure is incredibly rewarding, and we're proud to have contributed to infrastructure that will serve Auckland communities for decades to come.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making these projects a success.
