Project
CRH
CRH operates heavy industrial facilities with demanding environments and continuous production schedules. Many locations relied on aging metal halide and fluorescent systems that consumed excess energy, required frequent maintenance, and delivered inconsistent light levels. Upgrades needed to be phased carefully to avoid disrupting plant operations, equipment movement, and truck traffic, while delivering consistent reporting and measurable results.
AWL developed a scalable LED retrofit program tailored to industrial conditions. Each site began with an energy audit and lighting evaluation. LED systems were engineered to maintain or improve light levels, reduce consumption, and withstand harsh environments while lowering long-term maintenance demands. Fixture selections were standardized where possible, with adjustments made for site layout, mounting heights, and environmental exposure.
AWL completed upgrades at more than 30 facilities, delivering measurable savings while maintaining uninterrupted operations. The program improved visibility and safety in active production areas, reduced maintenance with long-life LED systems, and standardized lighting performance across diverse site types, while delivering approximately 3.7 million kWh in annual reduction and more than $630,000 in estimated yearly savings.
