Street Lighting & Electrical Services

Effective street lighting is essential for public safety, helping to reduce road accidents, deter crime, and support safe travel after dark. Colas’ experienced Electrical Team manages all aspects of street lighting across Portsmouth, ensuring the city’s lighting infrastructure remains safe, reliable, and well maintained.

Street Lighting Maintenance

We deliver both reactive and planned maintenance across the city’s street lighting network. This includes responding promptly to reported faults, alongside a structured maintenance programme involving routine cleaning to ensure consistent performance throughout the year.

Illuminated Signs & Bollards

The team maintains all illuminated signs and bollards to ensure they always remain clearly visible and fully operational. They carry out repairs, replacements, and lighting maintenance as required to support road safety and compliance.

Subway Lighting, School Beacons & Crossing Lights

Colas electrical team is also responsible for the maintenance of subway lighting systems, school warning beacons, and pedestrian crossing lights across the city. This essential work helps support the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists, particularly in highrisk and highuse areas.

NightTime Scouting

A dedicated night patrol team routinely surveys Portsmouth’s streets during the hours of darkness. These inspections identify lighting faults and areas requiring attention, enabling timely repairs and ensuring the city remains well-lit overnight.
