Public Lighting Revamp Begins in Torrevieja
On December 20, 2024, the Local Government Board of the Torrevieja City Council will officially approve a significant contract to enhance public lighting across various neighborhoods in the municipality. This initiative aims to improve both the safety and aesthetics of Torrevieja’s streets while promoting sustainability through advanced technology and environmentally friendly practices.
Contract Details
The contract has been awarded to SOCIEDAD IBÉRICA DE CONSTRUCCIONES ELÉCTRICAS, S.A., with a total sum of €205,566.90, VAT included. The timeline for the execution of this project is set for three months, ensuring that residents can soon benefit from the enhancements.
Scope of work
The planned improvements include:
- Replacing current streetlights with energy-efficient LED technology in specific areas such as calle Manzanilla and Calle escorpiones.
- Utilizing vehicles that meet “ECO” or “ZERO” environmental standards during the project.
Areas of Focus
The city’s Public lighting Councillor, concha Sala, highlighted the specific zones that will undergo repairs:
| Area | Specific Tasks |
|---|---|
| Torretas II | Sanitation of existing lighting installations |
| Aldea del Mar | LED lighting replacements |
| los Balcones & Los Altos | Repair and lighting improvements |
| Paseo Juan Aparicio | Installation of new solar-powered lights |
| Avenida La Mancha | reinforcement lighting at crosswalks |
| Calle Calpe | Column replacement for enhanced lighting |
Importance of Maintenance
The maintenance of lighting columns is critical, especially given Torrevieja’s maritime environment. The coastal air is particularly corrosive to metallic structures, leading to rapid deterioration due to oxidation. The project will focus on:
- Cleaning existing columns to remove rust.
- Applying protective paint to extend the useful life of these structures against harsh atmospheric conditions.
Conclusion
As Torrevieja embarks on this critically important lighting repair initiative, residents can look forward to enhanced safety, reduced energy costs, and a more environmentally friendly approach to public infrastructure. This project not only signifies a significant investment in community sustainability but also reflects the city’s commitment to improving the quality of life for all its inhabitants.
