You may not always see the work taking place, but our electrical teams are busy behind the scenes keeping the highway network powered, connected and safe.
Our recent work in Hastings, St. Leonards and Eastbourne includes:
- Installing underground cables to provide power to streetlights
- Connecting electrical supplies to digital bus stop signs
- Installing protective ducting for underground cables
- Carefully opening and reinstating sections of road or footway to reach existing electricity supplies
You may only see a small work area above ground, but connecting highway equipment can involve many hidden activities, such as locating existing mains cables and installing new underground connections.
These improvements help provide better lighting, safer journeys and useful travel information for residents, particularly as we head towards the darker autumn and winter months.
