Stoke’s latest monitoring system is out of this world

14 February 2008

Stoke-on-Trent has launched a scheme to use satellite images to monitor local streetlights.

The images are linked to a new website developed by SEC Lighting Services, allowing engineers to monitor the lights and residents to report faults at any of the city’s 38,000 streetlights online or through a free telephone link.

Mike Williams, regional director of SEC Lighting Services, said: ‘The Stoke-on-Trent streetlighting renewal project is at the cutting edge in terms of the equipment and technology used, so it is important to have a website to match – one that acts as a valuable two-way communication tool for local residents.’

The company, which maintains more than one million streetlights nationwide, began a 25-year private-finance initiative contract with the city council in 2003 to replace and maintain streetlights and illuminated roadsigns, but this is believed to be the first time satellite images have been used to monitor a streetlights contract.
