Street Light Management and Daily Maintenance Work Methods

1. Problems Existing in the Management and Maintenance of Urban Street Lights

(1) Management and construction plan

There is no unified plan for the construction and management of street lamps. From the actual situation, whether it is a big city or a small and medium-sized city, there are great deficiencies in the management and construction of street lamps, and there is no scientific model for project management. This has caused confusion in the management of urban street lights, and lack of standardization in construction.

In many cities, the number of street lights is not only insufficient, but the quality of the lights is also problematic. Many street lights are not bright or the brightness is very low, and they do not effectively play a role in lighting. This may have an impact on passing crowds and vehicles, causing confusion in people’s vision, threatening the city’s traffic, and affecting the city’s image.

With the continuous growth of the economic level, people’s aesthetics and requirements for the quality of life are also increasing. This requires that more attention must be paid to the management and construction of urban street lights to ensure that urban street lights meet people’s aesthetic requirements on the premise of achieving basic functions.

 

(2) The supervision system of street lamps is not perfect

Although the construction of street lights in cities has made great progress and development, and there have been great changes in quality and quantity, it is undeniable that the supervision of street lights in cities is still insufficient.

With the continuous expansion of the city, the number of street lights is also increasing. The traditional manual patrol method and the reflection of passers-by have lagged behind the requirements of the times.

Moreover, many cities will regularly supervise the inspection of street lights, which may bring convenience to criminals, and even the phenomenon of theft. Moreover, there will be a lag in the reflection of street lights by the public, and timely maintenance and adjustment cannot be carried out according to the actual situation. It also brings inconvenience to pedestrians and vehicles at night.

 

(3) Lack of timely maintenance

The management of street lamps has multi-departmental problems, and then timely maintenance of street lamps cannot be carried out. The most important thing to solve in municipal street lamp management is the multi-departmental problem of management. Urban landscape lighting and functional lighting are managed separately, and functional lighting is managed by different departments. Various street lights under the same layout may also be managed by different departments. For example, some residential street lights are managed by the city street light office, and some are managed by developers.

This kind of unclear management of street lamps has brought a lot of trouble for citizens to report damage and unknown problems, resulting in failure to repair street lamps in time, which has brought great trouble to the lives of citizens.

2. The Specific Working Methods of Street Light Management and Daily Maintenance

(1) Strengthen the construction of remote supervision system for street lamps.

According to the survey, there are 400,000 street lights in Los Angeles, 230,000 in New York, 240,000 in Dallas, 300,000 in Houston, 150,000 in Orlando, 180,000 in Orleans and 140,000 in Atlanta.

It can be seen from the above data that there are a lot of street lights in big cities, and it is of great significance to manage and maintain them. In order to better manage and maintain street lights, a modern supervision system needs to be established to strictly supervise street lights in the entire city.

In real life, many cities have winding roads and long journeys. The number of street lights is also very large, the way of using manual inspection has been out of touch with the reality, and if the relevant personnel are on vacation, there may be a gap in supervision. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a remote supervision system, which can monitor the situation of street lights in the whole city in real time without manual inspection.

It is also possible to monitor some criminals with the help of surveillance images to combat the theft of street lights. It can also dispatch maintenance personnel in time to repair and replace the faulty street lights according to the monitoring situation, so as to promote the normal operation of the entire street light system.

 

(2) Formulate a unified plan for the management and construction of street lamps.

The management of street lights requires the formulation of a unified planning scheme and strict management standards. Moreover, it cannot be carried out blindly, but needs to be carried out step by step, and specific plans should be formulated according to the economic development level of each city and the layout of the city.

The construction of street lights needs to be coordinated with the construction and development of the entire city, and even with the specific road appearance, and managed and maintained according to the actual situation and related requirements. For some smaller cities, the management of street lights should take into account the economy and highlight the practicality. For some big cities, in addition to considering the above issues, the appearance of the street lights should also be selected, taking into account the image of the city.

Therefore, in the management and maintenance of street lamps, unified planning should be carried out, and efficient management and maintenance of street lamps should be realized according to the specific conditions of different cities and different departments.

(3) Regulate the departments of urban street lamp management

In order to better realize the management and maintenance of street lamps, it is necessary to solve the multi-department phenomenon of management, so as to make the management and daily maintenance of street lamps more standardized and reasonable.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities and rights of the street lamp management department, reflecting the principle of combining responsibilities and rights. The government should formulate specific measures for the management of street lamps, divide the management of street lamps into specific and single departments, and do a good job of coordinating and cooperating with each other to solve the multi-headed phenomenon of management from the source.

It is also necessary to carry out specific planning for the department of street lamp management, and there can be no repeated management. For example, street lights can be divided into localities for management, and the management of street lights in the community can be directly assigned to relevant developers using the same management methods as roads, bridges and drainage facilities.

 

(4) Establish a sound management system

To establish a sound management system, and effectively improve the level of management and maintenance. It is necessary to carry out scientific and reasonable planning for urban street lights. Carry out reasonable reconstruction and expansion according to the existing street light system, and combine the construction of street lights with urban planning.

It is necessary to establish a sound working system and regulate the system of inspection and emergency repair. Not only relying on the remote monitoring system, but also regularly organize employees to patrol some key road sections, and establish a system for preparing shifts to ensure that some emergencies can arrive in time.

When repairing street lights, it is required that the equipment fires be repaired within half an hour. The situation that the street lights are not on should be repaired within a day. If there are many faults, it is necessary to rush first and then slowly, and repair them gradually.

In addition, it is necessary to train management and maintenance personnel to improve the technical ability and level of maintenance personnel. It is necessary to organize employees on a regular basis so that they can learn various professional skills, and effectively improve the quality of maintenance personnel, so that they can be repaired in time when there is a problem with the street lights.

A strict evaluation system should also be established, and different evaluation standards should be formulated according to different positions, especially the timely repair of street lights should be the main standard, so as to improve the efficiency of management and maintenance of street lights.

A good street light management system can be seen from small to big, showing the ability and level of the entire city management. Moreover, the street lights also add color to the night of the city, which is of great help to the improvement of the city’s image.

(3) It can save resources and reduce the cost of urban construction. The construction of street lamps requires a lot of money, and effective management of them can greatly save the city’s resources, reduce capital investment and maintenance costs, and then reduce the cost of the entire city construction and promote the normal development of the city.
