Surveys · A local authority Street-lighting survey and a lighting-management dashboard
Every lighting pole numbered, photographed and recorded by app straight into GIS, linked to its control box, with a lighting-management dashboard.
The challenge
When a report comes in about a dark street light, someone has to know which pole it is, what fixture it carries and which control box feeds it. Without a proper inventory, every fault starts with a search on the ground.
The solution
Field surveyors tagged each pole with a weather-proof number, photographed it and recorded in a mobile app its height, pole type, number of fixtures, arm length and colour, along with the control box it belongs to. The data went straight into a GIS layer, and survey progress was shown live on an interactive map.
The result
The lighting team finds any pole by its number, sees its photo, attributes and control box, and manages street lighting from one dashboard. The data is also available as AutoCAD, Excel and PDF files.
