Background information
Top Golf Surrey undertook a major upgrade to its driving range facilities, including a roof extension to enhance guest experience and operational coverage. As part of this transformation, the existing floodlighting system required a full overhaul to accommodate the new structure and ensure consistent illumination across the expanded range.
JHP was appointed to lead the lighting decommissioning and installation works, collaborating closely with Pacific Building—responsible for the roof replacement—and coordinating with perimeter lighting already installed along the berm (a raised edge or embankment) surrounding the range green.
Project overview
The project scope included:
- Full decommissioning of the legacy range lighting system.
- Installation of a new, extended floodlighting array to match the expanded roofline.
- Integration with berm-mounted perimeter lighting for cohesive coverage.
- Navigating structural challenges, including a glass-fronted range façade and complex power routing.
- The goal was to deliver a lighting solution that would ensure full visibility across the entire range, improve energy efficiency, and align with Top Golf’s premium guest experience.
Strategic approach
JHP adopted a phased, collaborative strategy:
- Site Assessment & Planning: Conducted detailed surveys to map lighting requirements post-roof extension.
- Decommissioning & Safety: Safely disconnected and removed legacy lighting systems, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing site works.
- Custom Lighting Design: Engineered a lighting layout to span the full width of the new roof, overcoming the obstacle of the glass-fronted range and ensuring optimal beam angles.
- Power Integration: Worked with site engineers to reroute and upgrade lighting power infrastructure for reliability and future scalability.
- Coordination with Contractors: Maintained close communication with Pacific Building to synchronise timelines and technical specifications, while ensuring compatibility with berm lighting.
Results and achievements
- Seamless removal and replacement of all golf range lighting.
- Extended lighting coverage across the full range roof, enhancing visibility and safety.
- Improved energy distribution and power management for long-term efficiency.
- Successful integration with berm-mounted perimeter lighting for uniform illumination.
- Delivered on time and in alignment with broader site upgrades.
Client satisfaction
Top Golf Surrey praised JHP’s professionalism, adaptability, and technical precision. The collaborative approach with Pacific Building ensured the lighting installation complemented the architectural upgrades and met operational needs. The result exceeded expectations, providing a brighter, more inviting range environment for guests and staff alike.
Conclusion
This project exemplifies JHP’s ability to deliver complex lighting installations in dynamic environments. By combining strategic planning, technical expertise, and collaborative execution, JHP helped Top Golf Surrey achieve a transformative upgrade to its driving range—enhancing both functionality and guest experience.
