OVERVIEW
Background
QinetiQ is one of the world’s largest defence technology contractors. A solution was needed to significantly improve the lighting across their large headquarters site in Farnborough.
There was a lack of quality lighting across the site for pedestrians and vehicles. The existing lighting was also high wattage but low quality.
Challenge
Digging trenches for new mains-powered cabling to replace the failed circuits would have caused extensive disruption. It would also have been very costly. The new lighting solution needed to provide quality year round lighting, be easy to deploy and cost effective to run. Ensuring that installation works had minimal environmental impact was
also a major objective. The solution also needed to be environmentally sustainable and significantly help reduce carbon emissions.

Testimonial
Simon Homer - QinetiQ Project Manager
QinetiQ has a target of becoming a Net-Zero company with ambitious near-term GHG emission reduction targets. To assist with this ambition, Prolectric assessed our lighting needs, developed a detailed site lighting plan and installed over 129 solar street lights and bollards at our headquarters at Cody Technology Park.
The new lights are bright and reliable, improving health
and safety during the hours of darkness. The lighting is high quality and proving to be robust in harsh weathers. All lighting completed so far, has required minimal maintenance and the installation has been well received by both the company and our tenants alike.
