The communes of Savigny-le-Temple and Nandy join forces to rebuild their street lighting
SPIE Ile-de-France Nord-Ouest signed a PPP (public-private partnership) on 6 July bringing together two communes in Seine-et-Marne to overhaul their street lighting and traffic signals.
Acting as a joint purchasing group, the two Seine-et-Marne communes signed a public-private partnership contract with SPIE Ile-de-France Nord-Ouest on Friday 6 July. It covers the reconstruction, energy management and performance-guaranteed maintenance of almost 6,000 street lighting points and traffic signals. Work will begin in October 2012 and finish in December 2013, leaving the lighting entirely renewed.
Both towns have grown strongly over the past 40 years, largely thanks to the creation of the Melun-Sénart new town. Savigny-le-Temple, for example, has gone from a few hundred inhabitants to 30,000 today, while Nandy has 6,000. The network has not been restructured since. The contract covers a total of 5,934 lighting points and 5,341 lantern supports, and includes the reconstruction of 18 km of underground electricity cabling and 104 low-voltage cabinets replacing medium-voltage ones. Work is due to start in October and finish in December 2013. The new installation should cut running costs by 30%. The works will also renovate the equipment on main roads, approach roads and residential streets, and make the power supply network more secure.
