STREET LIGHTING POLE CHECKS
Introducing
Advanced Testing
for Lighting Columns
NES has recently introduced the ColcheK2 - advanced inspection technology designed specifically for assessing the condition of planted steel lighting columns. This equipment enhances NES’s capability to deliver accurate, efficient, and non-destructive inspections at ground level and below, without the need to remove or disturb the column.
Lighting column testing services
Street lighting columns are exposed to environmental wear over time, with hidden corrosion at or below ground level being a common issue. Using the ColcheK2 system, NES can now detect corrosion, wall thinning, and other structural issues that are not visible externally. This service is suitable for steel lighting columns typically found in car parks, public walkways, private developments, and roadside environments.
