RCS case study
IMO Car Wash — National External Lighting Programme
Approximately 100 operational car wash sites completed within a six-week national electrical rollout, combining survey, installation, testing and commissioning.

The programme
RCS delivered a national external lighting programme across approximately 100 IMO Car Wash sites as part of a wider rebrand rollout. The programme covered locations throughout the Midlands, South West, South and South East of England.
Where practical, the team combined survey and installation activity within the same visit, accelerating delivery while maintaining consistent technical and presentation standards across the portfolio.
The challenge
Every site remained operational. Work therefore had to be planned around vehicle movements, customers and local site activity, with safe access and clear coordination maintained throughout a fast national rollout.
Scope of work
- Site surveys and condition assessment
- Design and coordination of required electrical works
- Installation of new circuits where required
- External floodlighting upgrades
- Electrical work serving branded building elements
- Testing and commissioning
- Coordination around live customer operations
- Multi-region scheduling, labour and resource management

The outcome
RCS installed and commissioned the required external lighting across approximately 100 sites in around six weeks. The project demonstrates the systems, planning and field capacity needed to deliver consistent high-volume electrical work across a dispersed operational estate.

When discussing a lighting project, tell us the site locations, current lighting issues, operating hours and any access restrictions. We can then establish the survey and quotation requirements.
