Ongoing work

Rural footway lighting

Warwick District Council Engineering are continuing with its rolling program to replace the remaining mercury based filament (MBF) lamps in the rural footway lighting areas of the district within the limited budgetary constraints. MBF lamps are no longer obtainable and cannot be stock piled as this is illegal due to their mercury content. These lights will be replaced by modern efficient sodium units. In the interests of efficiency to reduce the cost of electricity consumption, it has been decided to replace mercury lamps outside the conservation areas first, due to the high cost of special lamps and columns being required in conservation areas.

Recent work

Constructionline is the national database of pre-qualified contractors and consultants and is WDC Engineering Services' preferred method for selecting contractors and consultants to be invited to tender.

To do business with WDC Engineering Services, you will normally need to be a member. Most local authorities also use Constructionline to seek expressions of interest. No, being a member of Constructionline does not guarantee Council business. Information on how to become a member on Constructionline.
