The fundamental aims of this project were to reduce energy costs for Lambeth Council, and to provide better illuminated streets. The partnership with Bouygues Energies & Services has also helped the council to become more sustainable by reducing carbon emissions. 

Our Solution

We delivered an energy focused design solution, driving down costs and increasing the London Borough of Lambeth's overall efficiency

• The ambitious programme of works was carried out by our infrastructure division, replacing a total of 8500 of the HID lighting units with LED residential lanterns
• Replacement works began in June and were completed one month ahead of schedule in September
• Throughout the project, we ensured minimal disruption was caused to residents and road users

Client Benefits

Our partnership with the London Borough of Lambeth resulted in serveral benefits: 

• Local Authority started receiving paybacks almost immediately 

due to instant savings from energy bills as a result of early completion

• Energy consumption was reduced

from over 905 Kw to 348.5 Kw, a 61% saving

• Colour rendering from the LED lanterns improved visual clarity

Our Solution

A large number of LED lanterns were supplied and installed, replacing the old technology of SOX/SON lanterns. The fully managed, detailed programme required the works to be completed to specific timescales/deadlines in order to achieve the desired energy reductions.

The replacement lanterns raised the levels of lighting on existing highways to current standards under BS5489 2013 as well as offering the option of variable levels (power reduction post-midnight).

Our solution brought together strategic programming, smart logistics and a dedicated mobile workforce. Installation crews were managed by mobile supervisors in welfare/office vehicles.

We supplied the labour, plant and materials to provide a fully managed LED lantern conversion programme.

In addition to factory acceptance tests, we introduced a site acceptance test scheme to ensure that all lanterns were supplied and delivered safely to specification. 

Client Benefits

Demanding timescales were met and we delivered improved efficiency ahead of schedule

This was despite site difficulties such as narrow streets and traffic sensitive areas. 

Throughout the programme Bouygues Energies & Services managed any issues on behalf of the council

This included complaints by residents or problems with intrusive light - we endeavoured to keep such disruption to a minimum. 

The LED conversions will save the City of York Council £200,000 a year in energy

The project will also reduce maintenance costs and maintain a high quality of lighting for residents.

Mike Whiting, Kent County Coucillor: "The decision to work with Bouygues E&S was based on the experience of their previous successful projects and our confidence that they had the right abilities to complete the project to an exemplary standard, while also addressing environmental challenges"

The overall aim of this project is to reduce energy consumption by at least 60% whilst maintaining lighting standards in accordance with BS5489: 2015. The project work, to install LED lanterns, started in March 2016 and will be delivered in three phases:

1. In the first 14 months, 75,000 residential lights will be changed
2. Over 24 months, approximately 45,000 major road and town centre street lights will be changed
3. Ongoing maintenance of the assets for the duration of the contract

Our Solution

Bouygues Energies & Service designed an award winning project delivery plan which brought together strategic programming, smart logistics and a dedicated mobile workforce.

We delivered an energy focused design solution and guaranteed Kent County Council more than 65% in energy savings. This drove down their costs and increased their overall efficiency.

To ensure ease of monitoring, we have chosen a proven, reliable system which meets all of Kent County Council’s needs and has the in-built ability to offer future “Smart City” capabilities. Providing 100% connectivity for all street lights, all the newly installed units are linked to a central management system (CMS) which will allow Kent County Council to manage and adapt lighting levels as required.

Installation crews are managed by supervisors based in mobile welfare/office vehicles. This ensures safety, productivity and quality, and gives us better control of operations with supervisors based close to the works.

Client Benefits

Whilst still in the early stages of this contract, Kent County Council have experienced numerous benefits through its partnership with Bouygues Energies & Services.

The Local Authority's investment is guaranteed

This is a result of the underwriting of energy and maintenance savings.

The smart logistics approach has enabled an accelerated programme option

Part of our winning strategy was designing an accelerated delivery programme for the LED conversion. By delivering this scheme in 25 months instead of 38 months, additional savings of £4m will be generated.

Average savings of £4m a year

The Council saves money and reduces its carbon footprint by lowering energy usage. Our LED conversion guaranteed saving 65.7 % of Kent’s street lighting energy thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Maintenance costs will be reduced

We offered KCC an annual lump sum maintenance package - saving Kent County Council an estimated £1.6 million over 15 years and transfers the risk of any increased maintenance costs over the life of the contract to Bouygues.

Our Solution

The project required the replacement of existing critical services whilst the facility remained operational. The works included the replacement of the computer floor, which had been contaminated by zinc whiskers. We installed new air conditioning and power and through our design, provided additional capacity and resilience.

The service included:

• 2 x 500 kVA UPS units at N+1
• 2 x 800 kVA synchronised generators
• A&B supply to PDUs and Rack
• A single press double knock emergency power down facility with fault monitoring.

Critically, we achieved a seamless transfer of IT data equipment from the existing UPS and distribution systems.

Client's Requirement

This new facility will help the school, not only to advance their teaching methods in the field, but also to replicate the manufacturing standards, processes and protocols expected in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors; enabling their students to better understand and appreciate regulatory requirements before they leave university.  

The intended educational purpose of the facility also required that the two areas – sterile and non-sterile – would accommodate up to 12 students at any one time.

Our Solution

Bouygues Energies & Services’ turnkey Design & Build solution included the stripping out and removal of an old optometry unit, in order to construct a new, fully-functioning unit which met the client’s specific requirements for use as a teaching facility.

The completed unit is capable of providing small-scale cytotoxic manufacturing support, as well as offering a high quality teaching environment, where both sterile and non-sterile areas are regulated to EU GMP grade B to D cleanroom classification.

The installation of temperature, humidity, filtration and pressure cascades were as per the stringent requirements for this type of facility, and were designed to be stand-alone from the central university services, increasing the reliability of the facility’s provisions.

Although the pharmacy suite was not required to be MHRA approved, we ensured that our commissioning and validation of the facility followed the key steps necessary to enable future regulatory approval, if required.

In order for the unit to be ready for the new term, our teams also had to undertake special considerations and planning; commencing the project during term time and arranging their work around end-of-year exams.
