Piccadilly Village Lighting Upgrade – Stylish, Sustainable & Safe

Overview

Piccadilly Village is a neighborhood next to the Ashton Canal in Manchester’s Piccadilly Basin. Addison Electrical was hired to improve the old lighting columns in the area. They upgraded 132 decorative lights with help from a local supplier who provided Italian-made globes. The project was finished on time and within budget, giving the outdoor spaces a much nicer look.

Project background

The managers of Piccadilly Village wanted to keep the area attractive and safe. They updated the street and walkway lights to make the place look better at night and help residents feel safer. Instead of throwing out the old light poles, they reused them and replaced the old fixtures with new, decorative globes. This saved money, reduced waste, and created a more modern feel.

Key Points

Appearance: The new lights needed to fit in with the scenic canal area and highlight the village’s buildings.
Strength and weather-resistance: Because the lights are near the canal, they had to handle local weather conditions.
Cost savings: Using the old columns was cheaper than buying entirely new ones.

What was done

Updating existing poles

Addison Electrical refurbished 132 lighting columns. They kept the original poles to reduce waste.

Before adding the new globes, they checked each pole to ensure it was safe.

Installing Italian globes

A local supplier provided custom globes from Italy, chosen for their durability, style, and quality.

These globes gave the walkways and shared areas a stylish, unified look.

Project management

The team organised the schedule, handled logistics, and worked with suppliers to finish on time.

They carefully manage the budget, keeping track of costs to meet the client’s needs.
