The challenge
Mill Hill’s hockey pitch needed resurfacing. The school decided to also take this as an opportunity to upgrade the pitch’s old metal halide 2kW lighting to LEDs to help cut energy and maintenance costs. To help keep the project costs down Mill Hill had already decided that the current lighting masts had to remain. This was partly due to a tree with a protection order on it being near the pitch too.
Mill Hill approached several contractors to bid for pitch resurfacing and lighting and we were brought in to quote for the LED lighting aspect. Mill Hill was extremely impressed with our lighting proposal. This was thanks not only to our competitive pricing, but also the improved lighting our solution would provide and the peace of mind our extended warranty gives. So, they wanted us to still handle the lighting upgrade element of the work.
