CASE STUDY: North Yorkshire Council’s £1M+ Efficiency Drive

The Challenge: Confronting Infrastructure Decay

North Yorkshire Council manages one of the largest infrastructure networks in the UK. Managing 50,400 lamp posts is a massive fiscal responsibility. Traditional "React & Replace" maintenance models were proving unsustainable, with corrosion shortening asset lives from a potential 50 years down to just 10–15 years.

NYC Lamp Post Preservation Strategy

The Solution: Moving to "Protect & Preserve"

By implementing PeeTGuard, NYC shifted from expensive, reactive repairs to proactive preservation. The PeeTGuard collar provides a durable, physical barrier against the "hidden enemies" of street furniture: dog urine, road salt, and chemical runoff.

Environmental Leadership

The shift isn't just financial; it's a major win for NYC's Net Zero targets:

• Carbon Reduction: Saves 166,320kgs of CO2e every year.

• Circular Economy: Uses unrecyclable plastic waste that would otherwise be landfilled.

• Pollution Prevention: Unlike bitumen, which must be heated to 180°C and releases VOCs, PeeTGuard is a clean, low-carbon alternative.
  

The Result: A Seven-Figure Saving

By protecting the 7,560 posts typically treated for corrosion each year, NYC stands to save £1,096,200.00 annually. This is capital that can be directly reallocated to other critical public services, such as road repairs and social care.
