A Large Lighting Upgrade for Durham-based Valassis, a Division of VERICAST
We recently completed a large lighting upgrade for Durham-based Valassis, a division of VERICAST, and thought it would be helpful to share the highlights.
VERICAST’s Valassis Printing Division is housed in a 180,000-square-foot facility in Durham’s Research Triangle Park area. It’s home to three, three-story Man Roland printing presses. Printing operations run around the clock, seven days a week.
The John Riley Group performed a facility-wide LED lighting upgrade. Our six-man crew (3 electricians and 3 apprentices) utilized a 45’ articulating lift and 20’ narrow base scissor lift to replace approximately 800 fixtures, the bulk of which were in the production and production support areas. The project spanned four weeks.
We were gratified to receive this note form the Valassis project manager:
“Thank you to The John Riley Group for completing our LED lighting retrofit. John gained my trust from the very beginning, and I could not have asked for a better partner on this project. Replacing over 800 lights in a 180,000 sq ft manufacturing environment and never once interrupted production was truly astounding! Your recommendations on lighting led to an immediate cost savings with a reduction in energy usage and eliminated maintenance involved with old fluorescent lights. The LED retrofit has given our facility a much cleaner, brighter light and eliminated a lot of shadows creating a safer environment. I would highly recommend The John Riley Group to anyone looking to enhance their facility lighting.”
