Why is the domestic outdoor lighting brand suffering from Chengdu?


The construction and maintenance of large-scale municipal outdoor lighting projects and landscape engineering projects have always been the focus of manufacturers and industry insiders. In Chengdu, which department is in charge of the construction of outdoor lighting and landscape lighting, and which units are doing maintenance? Which famous brands have the highest market share?

Recently, the reporter visited the Chengdu Street Light Management Office for this purpose.

Chengdu Street Light Management Office implements district management

Deputy Director Sun Weiping of Chengdu Street Light Management Office said that the primary responsibility of Chengdu Street Light Management Office is to review the completed outdoor lighting engineering facilities in Chengdu City. After passing the inspection and acceptance, the officially open project will be handed over to Chengdu. The street lamp management office is managed in a unified manner, and the management office performs daily maintenance on all engineering facilities.

Director Sun said that the Chengdu Street Light Management Office is not directly involved in the construction of outdoor lighting projects, and the new construction projects are specifically responsible for the urban management. Even the later maintenance and renovation projects are also implemented in district management. The entire Chengdu streetlights are divided into three zones: Chengdong, Chengxi and Chengnan. Each of the districts has its own main roads and related outdoor lighting and landscape lighting projects. For maintenance and renovation, the expenses required for streetlight management in each jurisdiction shall be paid by the municipal finance after the approval.

Outdoor lighting annual maintenance costs nearly 10 million yuan

Director Sun told the reporter that the entire repair and renovation project in Chengdu in recent years is still not small. The Chengdu Street Lights Department is responsible for the daily maintenance of outdoor functional lighting fixtures in nine overpasses and 134 trunk roads in the main urban area of ​​Chengdu. Each year, during the maintenance process, a number of facilities need to be replaced. Some of the main roads have changed and outdoor lighting facilities have to be reinstalled.

According to relevant engineering records, the replacement, renovation and maintenance costs of outdoor lighting have been more than 8 million yuan per year for five consecutive years. At present, there are more than 130 employees in Chengdu Street Lighting Department, and there is a very strong engineering maintenance and installation team. This year there are more than 60,000 lamps and lanterns installed, and next year is expected to increase the number of installation tasks by 10,000!

There are still differences in domestic product technology

Throughout the years, the products selected for Chengdu's large-scale outdoor engineering projects, most of the poles are from the production enterprises in Sichuan Province; most of the lamp holders and lamps are imported, and the main supporting products are Philips, Osram, GE, etc. Big brands, domestic products account for a small proportion. Director Sun also said that it is not to exclude domestic products. The key is that many domestic enterprises cannot meet the relevant requirements of the engineering party at many times. Domestic production-oriented enterprises have strong counterfeiting ability and small production volume, but they lack some core technologies. For large-scale municipal engineering projects, the senior engineering designers of the street lighting department provide design drawings. They will ask the manufacturers to provide relevant reference data such as light effects and illumination parameters, and even a complete set of computing technology software, but domestic enterprises. This is rarely done, so in many cases, engineers at the Agency are unable to select products from domestic companies!

If the acceptance is qualified, the full amount of the project payment will be paid.

In the impression of many people, the project is good, but the balance is difficult to collect. What kind of situation is the situation facing the supplier when dealing with the Chengdu street lamp? Director Sun told reporters that the large-scale procurement projects required in each year will publish information on the Sichuan bidding website. The project funds shall be allocated by the municipal finance in phases, depending on the progress of the project, with a 70% ratio. The turnover period will not be too long. After the completion of the project, 30% of the balance will be paid. As long as the project meets the standard, there is no arrears in the project. Suppliers don't have to worry too much about the balance of the project.

Why has the landscape engineering volume in Chengdu decreased in recent years?

When talking about this, Xu Hongtao, who is in charge of the landscape project at Chengdu Street Light Management Office, said: "This is mainly due to the fact that Chengdu has been repairing the subway in the main city in recent years. People who have been to Chengdu in recent times have felt. At present, the road traffic in Chengdu City is crowded. The main roads are all under construction by the subway department. Many communication facilities and most of the cables have been dug up. They need to be relocated, and they are in a state of comprehensive upgrade and transformation. The power facilities are also slightly strained. Of course, these are temporary. As the date of various large-scale sports events in Chengdu approaches, the subway project will be fully accelerated, and the north-south line will soon be fully unblocked. The corresponding urban landscape projects will also emerge on a large scale and will be accelerated. Repair progress. The beautiful Rongcheng will definitely smile, which will provide more development and business opportunities for the various manufacturers and merchants in the industry.
