The process

From rust to radiance

Restoring is often more sustainable and cheaper than replacing. And the streetscape stays what it always was.

01

Inventory

We assess each pole for corrosion, cracks and stability and document everything in a report.

02

Removal

Poles are carefully removed and replaced by temporary lighting where needed.

03

Blasting & repair

Old paint and rust are removed. Damaged parts are repaired or re-cast.

04

Coating

A multi-layer coating system in the original or a new colour protects for many years.

05

LED refit

The lantern receives a modern LED unit. More efficient, with less light pollution, while keeping the characteristic glow.

06

Reinstallation

The pole returns to its place, ready for decades of service.

Reproduction

Lost models, cast once more

Is a pole missing, or is a model no longer made? Through our partner Neri we have historic designs re-cast in its own foundry, based on an original or old drawings.
