Wokingham Borough Council

Shinfield Studios

Challenge

Volker Highways were charged by Wokingham Borough Council to provide a Solar Hybrid lighting solution for a footpath along Cutbush Lane running adjacent to Shinfield Studios. Whilst Volker are experts in traditional mains connected lighting, they are not solar experts, and have already worked with SolarVision Lighting Technologies (SVLT) in the past to deliver a solution.

Solution

Working together we were able to offer Wokingham BC a solar hybrid solution that would satisfy their requirements. The ASTRAL Hybrid column was proposed which would meet all of their specification requirements.

Outcome

Volker Highways provided the infrastructure for a mains connection with SVLT delivering the ASTRAL Hybrid installing it and programming it in line with the Councils demands. All the solar work was completed by SVLT with Volker Highways connecting the columns to the grid.

The ASTRAL Hybrid provided the P5 lighting category required for the footpath/cycle way and at the same time gave the council the comfort that the columns would not fail even in the darkest of winter months.

Organisation: Wokingham Borough Council

Installed: ASTRAL Lighting Columns
