Maxmax Develop New Innovative Lighting System

Construction News Image
More than 30 miles of motorway roadworks on the M6, M3 are being lit up using an innovative lighting system developed by a West Midlands based equipment supply firm.

The LinkLite temporary lighting system has been pioneered by Maxmax Limited, which has manufacturing and distribution operations in Dudley and Telford, Shropshire. Around 3,000 lights have been installed by major contractors overseeing 24 kilometres of motorway maintenance work between junctions 13 and 15 of the M6. The work is being undertaken for the planned roll-out of Managed Motorway schemes on the M6, which will see the hard shoulder opened up to traffic as an additional lane.

The Linklite system was developed by Maxmax, following feedback from customers such as Balfour Beatty and Amey, requiring similar lighting solutions in the rail industry. It comprises a head, stand and basket or spike and is now regarded as one of the most innovative and cost efficient temporary lighting systems in the UK.

A 3Kva generator can power up to 270 linear metres of lighting, thereby providing a safe, space-saving and economic method of illumination. The system has been used in demanding construction, maintenance and railway operations, but this is the first time it has been utilised for motorway work. Bam Nuttall and McCann Construction are among the contractors to opt for it.

Maxmax hold substantial stocks of all products and spares to ensure fast delivery and prevention of delays for our clients which is paramount in a motorway project when any supply problems would cause extended inconvenience to the motoring public.
