NEW SERVICE - Professional Column Testing Now Available at Kingfisher Lighting

News

Kingfisher Lighting is proud to introduce our comprehensive Column Testing service, expanding our specialist solutions for lighting infrastructure safety and compliance. By adding both structural and electrical testing to our portfolio, we help ensure your lighting columns remain safe, compliant and fully maintained. This reduces the risk of failures and costly downtime across your site.

 

What Is Column Testing?

Column testing is a detailed inspection process used to assess the condition, safety and performance of lighting columns and site infrastructure. Through a combination of structural and electrical evaluations, we identify early signs of deterioration that could lead to corrosion, instability or column collapse.

Regular column testing is essential for:

  • Health and safety compliance
  • Preventing structural failures
  • Extending asset lifespan
  • Reducing long-term maintenance costs

Our service ensures your lighting columns meet all relevant standards while maintaining optimal performance.

 

How Our Column Testing Service Works

Our three stage process, Assess, Analyse and Act, provides a clear and reliable pathway to maintaining safe and compliant lighting columns.

 

Step 1: Assess

Our engineers conduct detailed on-site assessments and select the most suitable testing methods for each column type and location. These may include visual structural inspections, eddy current testing, ultrasonic testing, electrical continuity tests and loop impedance testing. This ensures every lighting column receives the most accurate and relevant evaluation.

 

Step 2: Analyse

We review all test data and compare the results with industry regulations and best practice standards. You will receive a clear inspection report containing photographs, condition ratings, risk levels and detailed structural and electrical findings. Our reports support effective asset management and allow you to plan maintenance with confidence.

 

Step 3: Act

Following the analysis, we provide practical recommendations for repairs, replacements or follow up inspections. You will also receive a tailored inspection schedule that outlines when each lighting column should be checked again based on age, condition and environmental exposure. This keeps your site compliant and reduces long-term safety risks.
