ClearSpan™ is the industry leader for sand and salt storage
D.C. Government selects Citelum to manage and upgrade Washington’s streetlighting
ClearSpan™ Fabric Structures, the preferred choice for sand and salt storage, provides design-build and energy-efficient solutions for material, equipment and other storage needs. Just recently, the Township of Wayne Department of Public Works in Wayne, N.J., installed a 65’ wide by 100’ long ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch building for their salt supply. The ClearSpan buildings feature abundant natural light and spacious interiors without support posts. With minimal foundation requirements, the structures can be permanent or temporary, and are easy to relocate. Made in the USA, they can be built to any length and up to 300’ wide. According to George Holzapfel, Wayne’s public works director, “[The building] is well received. Material stored is safe from the elements and access for trucks and equipment is excellent.” For more information, call 1-866-643-1010 or visit www.clearspan.com/ADAPWA.
The District of Columbia has selected Citelum to manage and upgrade the city’s 71,000 streetlights to a state-ofthe-art, sustainable system. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has announced that it has awarded Washington’s streetlight asset management contract to the company, which already manages urban lighting for some of the world’s most recognizable cities. Citelum’s unique approach and experience will enable it to turn D.C.’s lighting from a reactive system to a proactive one, based on real-time information, which will greatly improve system management, public safety and cut use of electricity by more than half. A key part of the project will be Citelum’s installation of LED lighting in every Ward of the District, which will help to build Washington’s reputation as one of the greenest cities in the U.S. and add momentum to Mayor Vincent Gray’s Sustainable D.C. Plan. For more information, please visit www.citelum.com.
