Municipal and Street Decoration

Municipal and Street Decoration

City centres are dressed on a fixed date, from brackets that already exist, by crews working over live traffic. The lighting has to fit the bracket, survive the season and come down cleanly.

What Goes Wrong In This Sector

  • Cross-street brackets and catenaries are already in place, and the motif has to suit them rather than the other way round
  • Installation windows are short and often overnight with traffic management booked
  • A failed unit over a carriageway is expensive to reach twice
  • Budget is annual, so displays have to be re-erected for several seasons
  • Switch-on dates are public and cannot move

What Buyers Actually Need

  • Weight and fixing points matched to existing street furniture
  • Consistent brightness along a whole avenue, not unit by unit
  • Sealed wiring that survives a wet winter over a road
  • Re-erectable frames and a labelled fixing kit
  • A production schedule that lands before the switch-on

Typical Applications

  • Cross-street motifs along a shopping street
  • Pole-mounted repeat motifs on approach roads
  • Street tree trunk and canopy wrapping
  • Roundabout and gateway features
  • Civic building roofline and facade outlines

Delivery Capability

  • Standard items in 7-9 days, custom shapes 20-30 days after sample approval
  • Units labelled by street position so crews unpack in sequence
  • About 5 containers a month of export capacity
  • IP65 wiring rated -40 C to 60 C

How we run it

The Sequence For This Sector

  1. Site survey drawings and bracket type confirmed

  2. Motif sized to the bracket load and the span

  3. Sample built and signed off before tooling

  4. Batch produced with matched bulb spacing across the avenue

  5. Labelled by position and crated in installation order

  6. Container loaded to land ahead of the install window

Questions

Municipal and Street Decoration Questions

Can you match motifs to the brackets we already have on the street?

Yes, and it is the first thing we ask for. Send a photograph and dimensions of the bracket and we place the fixing points and set the frame weight to suit it.

How do you keep brightness consistent along a whole avenue?

By fixing the bulb spacing and bulb type across the batch and producing the avenue as one run rather than as repeat orders. Mixed batches are what makes a street look patchy.

Will the display survive more than one season?

The frames are stoving varnished with rust prevention and the wiring is ageing tested and IP65. Store them dry in the supplied crates and re-erect with the same fixing kit.

When do we need to order for a December switch-on?

Count back sea freight plus 20-30 days production for custom work after sample approval. Late summer is comfortable; October is tight.
