PROJECT:
ABELLIO, London
Abellio keeps London moving with safer spaces for transportation staff.
Abellio is a bus company operating services in Greater London, England. A subsidiary of Transport UK Group, it operates services under contract to Transport for London. Every year, millions of Londoners pass through the capital’s public transport system. Keeping this network running smoothly relies on the transportation staff who work with the public and behind the scenes.
Powercor, introduced Abellio to the Philips range of UV-C disinfection devices where they opted to add an extra layer of protection to key areas in the depots.

OUR APPROACH AND IMPACT
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other risks like seasonal flu, Abellio understands the importance of taking a proactive approach to keeping workplaces safe and hygienic.
Abellio wanted to ensure that staff at its bus depots are given the best protection from COVID-19 and other biological threats with particular reference to those areas in its buildings where natural or effective forced ventilation is either less than optimal or non-existent.
Leading UK lighting and electrical contractor, Powercor, introduced Abellio to the Philips range of UV-C disinfection devices where they opted to add an extra layer of protection to key areas in the depots.
The Philips UV-C disinfection devices use ultraviolet light to inactivate microorganisms like viruses and bacteria, making them harmless to humans and animals. UV-C disrupts the DNA or RNA that enables those viruses and bacteria to multiply. The technology has been used safely and effectively for more than 35 years.
Powercor installed Philips UV-C disinfection active air devices, Philips UV-C disinfection upper-air devices. 2 different types of devices but with the same fantastic outcome.
A total of six depots have installed Philips UV-C disinfection devices to date.
Trusted technology
UV-C technology is trusted and has been used for over 35 years.
Safer environment
Inactivates 99.99% of SARS-COV-2 in the air of a room within 10 minutes
Sustainable design
Environmentally friendly as there are no ozone emissions during or after use.
Improved lighting quality
Radiates UV-C in the upper areas, where it does not reach people
Abellio Bus chose to install UV-C because we knew it was proven technology – it has been used in several different sectors, for decades – so it was the right choice for us.
