Emergency Lighting Installation for a Leading Global Storage Company

With extensive physical and digital storage facilities in the UK, they serve sectors as diverse as government, banking, healthcare, and commercial enterprise. This client’s premises house sensitive data and assets that require highly secure, compliant, and safe environments. Our team was engaged to install a robust emergency lighting system across their UK warehouses, delivering on a significant contract worth several hundred thousand pounds.

Project Scope

The task was to provide reliable, energy-efficient emergency lighting for thousands of units throughout vast warehouse spaces. Each installation was designed to illuminate the storage facilities to enable retrievals and light essential escape routes, ensuring occupants’ safety in the event of a power outage. This project required both large-scale planning and detailed, site-specific execution to ensure every area met British Standards (BS5266) for emergency lighting.

Our Approach

At Aylesford Electrical Contractors, we prioritise safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. This project required precise coordination and execution, as the warehouses’ layout and extensive coverage posed challenges to lighting distribution and installation. As a fully accredited contractor holding certifications from NICEIC, SafeContractor, SafePQQ, ConstructionLine, Achilles, Avetta, and Altius we brought industry-recognized standards of quality and reliability to the project.

Our team conducted detailed site assessments, mapping out ideal lighting placements for optimal coverage and safety. Additionally, we provided integration options that worked seamlessly with the existing lighting infrastructure, reducing overall installation time and minimizing disruptions to the facility’s daily operations.

Key Outcomes

1. Enhanced Safety and Compliance: By aligning the installation with British Standards for emergency lighting, we ensured that each unit met the rigorous safety requirements expected of commercial, industrial, and public sector clients. The system offers reliable illumination for emergency exits, promoting safety and peace of mind for the company and its stakeholders.
2. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Our installation included the latest in low-energy, high-efficiency lighting, which aligns with the client’s environmental goals. This was achieved without compromising the system’s functionality or dependability, reinforcing Aylesford Electrical’s commitment to sustainable solutions.
3. Comprehensive Maintenance Support: In addition to the initial installation, we provide ongoing support, including emergency light testing, periodic servicing, and certification. This ensures the system remains compliant, operational, and ready in case of emergencies, underscoring our promise of long-term reliability.

Our approach showcases how attention to detail, compliance, and sustainability can combine to enhance safety, reduce environmental impact, and maintain compliance across complex operational environments.
