MAYRISE maps Harrogate's street lights
22 October 2006, 12:07pm
Harrogate Borough Council has implemented an advanced service management and mapping system from Mayrise Systems to improve the provision of street lighting within the borough.
MAYRISE™ Street Lighting and integrated MapNow mapping software provides instant access to the Council's street lighting asset inventory. The system automatically generates planned maintenance works and facilitates the management of fault reporting and repair in order to meet the Council's service delivery targets.
Harrogate Council is responsible for maintaining approximately 12,000 street lighting units, illuminated signs, beacons and bollards. With published performance targets, including repair of reported faults within 5 working days and ensuring 98% of all units are operational, it was essential the Highways and Transport Division had an information management tool that was easy to use, capable of integrating with third party software and fit for purpose.
The Mayrise system replaces an under- performing solution and was chosen following rigorous system evaluation and market feedback.
"MAYRISE is not just quicker than our previous system, it is instant. We have access to historical records, ongoing service issues and planned maintenance works, improving our customer service and reducing paperwork. We are hoping to give staff in our Customer Service Units direct access to the same details by integrating with our Northgate CRM tool to further improve performance levels." Says David Oliver, Street Lighting Engineer at Harrogate Borough Council.
MAYRISE manages all data associated with a lighting unit; legacy records from Harrogate's previous system were imported to ensure historical information was not lost and ongoing fault and maintenance records are created and maintained. Using MAYRISE staff at the Council have instant access to inventory, maintenance and contractor records.
An ongoing data capture programme will improve the accuracy of this information by accurately recording the position of every lighting unit using MapNow, the integrated mapping software from Mayrise Systems.

David Mole, Managing Director at Landmark Environment, provides an insight into the opportunities and challenges facing environmental consultants in 2010.
Over the last year there have been numerous events that have impacted upon the environmental consultancy sector. More recently the progress report from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) issued a clarion call to government to take steps to further reduce carbon emissions, as well as make buildings and industry more efficient.

Looking ahead to 2010, we know the impacts of climate change are already finding their way onto the consultancy agenda. A recent poll among Landmark’s clients found that consultancies expect flood risk assessment to be the biggest growth area for their business during 2010.
