Carillion

>62%Forecast Energy Savings

Overview

Carillion PLC was a British multinational facilities management and construction services company headquartered in Wolverhampton. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

Project Brief

Kellwood were invited to consult on a multi-phase lighting upgrade for one of Carillion's combined secondary school and leisure centre complex.

This facility included various gymnasiums, a swimming pool, and a premium-quality, 4G sports pitch.

High maintenance costs had rendered the outdated systems obsolete and Kellwood were asked to supply and install the appropriate, alternative LED fittings.

Poolside Challenges

  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Ingress and Imact Rated
  • Tailored Optics and Locked Positioning
  • Additional Safety Cable
  • Indirect Illumination
  • High Lux Levels and Uniformity
  • Superior Colour Rendering
  • Optional Intelligent Controls
  • Custom Fitting Colouration

Solution

Kellwood's designated project team carefully designed and built multiple project area briefs by listening to Caril lion's staff requirements and offering them sound industry advice. The biggest challenge on the pitch upgrade was the low-weight thresholds of the existing poles. Specialist sport-specific, lightweight floodlighting was installed.

The results

... Kellwood are a pleasure to work with. Behind a first impression of professionalism and wide industry knowledge there are two other elements -firstly, they have an almost amusing level of enthusiasm for what they do and secondly, a genuine commitment to getting our project right from start to finish...
