Last week we asked if you what this was on Lord Street, did you find out?
SOUTHPORT'S Lord Street had a very strange machine on it got many readers asking us what was it. Well sadly it was not a Transformer or anything as exciting as that. It was in fact Rei Lux UK Ltd's testing the street lighting columns, using patented non destructive testing (NDT) structural analysing system. The 3D portable measuring machine enables the firm to identify issues that are caused by insufficient back filling around the lighting or CCTV column, material failure, due to corrosion or crack formation, incorrectly fitted or corroded bracket arms and swage joint or multi-step joint failure. The results are then passed on to Sefton MBC so they can keep Lord Street safe and light up at nights... Well you did ask!
