Balfour can maintain an accurate asset database of the street lighting network including street lightingcolumns, illuminated signs, Feeder Pillars and illuminated bollards. The software also maintains information detailing the cable runs between Feeder Pillars and services units. Integrated mapping software, MAYRISE MapNow, is used to display the actual location of units improving service delivery and analysis of performance. 

“Mayrise enables us to maintain a complete service history for every lighting unit, allowing us to quickly identify its condition, age and fault history.  This makes for better targeting of network faults and the identification of potential replacement upgrade of the street lighting asset” comments (left)  Rory O’Connor, Street Lighting Design team leader .
