Coastal environments are tough on public lighting: salt spray, humidity, winds and UV accelerate corrosion and weaken cables, fasteners, masts and cabinets. In Dakar, Mbour, Abidjan or Grand-Bassam, a clear anti-corrosion strategy extends service life and reduces interventions.
Favour hot-dip galvanising, suitable powder paints, stainless steel fasteners, resistant gaskets and watertight cable glands. Luminaires receive high IP/IK enclosures and anti-UV coatings. Brackets limit lever arm and vibrations.
Avoid water traps on bases, plan for drainage and covers. Protect cable runs, respect bend radii, and apply recommended tightening torques. Inside cabinets, pay attention to earthing, ventilation and surge protection to preserve the electronics.
Schedule visual inspections, retightening, paint touch-ups, optics cleaning and gasket checks. Cabinet thermography detects early heating caused by connection oxidation. Keep critical stock (fasteners, gaskets, optics, drivers) to react quickly.
Remote management reports cabinet openings, network faults, silent luminaires. Document materials, treatments, tightening torques, maintenance plans and warranties. Field feedback feeds continuous improvement.
