Balpara provided electrical project management consulting services for the City of Kingston in changing Mercury Vapour Street lighting to LED street lights over a period of six months.
Project Overview
Throughout the project, Balpara acted as the liaison between energy utility United Energy and the City of Kingston, sending weekly status reports on the energy efficient street lighting upgrades.
The City of Kingston planned to change 7,313 Mercury lights on Vapour Street to LED street lights over a period of six months. This equated to 280 light changes per week.
Balpara liaised with the Public Lighting Contractor on a weekly basis to ascertain which lights had been replaced. The team also measured the lighting level of 10% of the installed lighting (28 lights per week), to ensure that there was no reduction in light levels.
The new lights will save 55,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years, improve safety and light levels in local streets and reduce light pollution and glare.
