From music festivals to sporting finals, mass participation events are an economic and cultural lifeline for cities. But in an increasingly digital world, they also place enormous strain on public infrastructure – particularly mobile networks.
Across the UK, there’s mounting pressure to upgrade underground infrastructure; lighting, power, broadband, and EV charging all require greater capacity, yet this expansion collides with an already congested network of roads, utilities, and public spaces. Digging new trenches in these environments risks traffic chaos, community disruption, and high reinstatement costs.
CU Phosco is launching its latest service innovation — Supamole, a trenchless directional drilling system that's set to transform how underground ducts are installed in urban environments.
CU Phosco is pleased to announce its participation at LiGHT 25, the UK’s only dedicated lighting specification exhibition, taking place at the Business Design Centre, London, on 19–20 November 2025. We’ll be joining our partners Heper on their stand to showcase how our collaboration is expanding the possibilities for high-quality, engineered, and environmentally responsible lighting solutions in the UK.
With Christmas just weeks away, streets across the UK are beginning to sparkle. But beyond the festive glow, many public spaces grow darker, emptier, and, for some, more intimidating.
People across Brighton & Hove are being given a unique opportunity to see the next stage of our seafront lighting restoration project up close.
As global temperatures rise and heatwaves become more frequent, outdoor infrastructure—including lighting—is being pushed to its limits. In regions where summer temperatures regularly soar to 40–50°C, the performance, durability, and safety of exterior lighting systems face unique challenges. Here's what you need to know.
Our Meet the Team continues and, this time, we’re heading to our Coleford facility to catch up with Rhys Morris. If you’ve ever worked with our columns and poles, chances are Rhys has played a part in making things happen behind the scenes.
CU Phosco Australia, an associated company of CU Phosco, the leading UK-based designer and manufacturer of outdoor lighting equipment, is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a significant contract with Ausgrid to deliver their FL820 floodlights.
From illuminating motorways and city streets to enhancing public safety and urban design, exterior lighting plays a vital role in modern infrastructure. Behind every lighting column, bracket, and luminaire is a team of skilled professionals in manufacturing—designing, building, and innovating the systems that keep our world visible and safe after dark.
The UK is racing to deliver the next generation of connectivity, but the journey isn’t straightforward. While demand for 5G coverage continues to soar, the infrastructure required to make it a reality is facing significant challenges.
CU Phosco Australia is proud to announce that its FL820 and FL830 LED floodlights have been added to the National Electricity Market (NEM) Load Tables for Unmetered Connection Points, managed by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). This important milestone not only reinforces CU Phosco’s commitment to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient lighting solutions but also marks a key step in supporting Australia's energy and sustainability goals.
